WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.860 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast. 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.760 This is where you can find audio from Sunday morning messages and more. 00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:14.300 Make sure you're subscribed so that you don't miss future episodes. 00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:15.480 And thanks for listening. 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:21.840 Well, good morning. 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:25.940 If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us. 00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:30.320 In Genesis chapter 34 is where we will be. 00:00:31.180 --> 00:00:35.100 As you turn there, some reminders, some things we've got going on. 00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:37.860 Some you just heard about in our announcement video. 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.840 First is Man Camp October 19th. 00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:41.800 There are these cards in the back here. 00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:43.480 You can sign up to be a part of that. 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.940 I want to encourage all of you men to do that. 00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:51.040 There's an important part of what we talk about around here in discipleship. 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:55.460 And the different ways that we grow and create disciples. 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:00.720 And one of those is through missional discipleship, which is the opportunity to take someone that 00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:06.240 is not a Christian, they're not a follower of Christ, and to invite them to an opportunity 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:11.420 where we're going to create an atmosphere where we do fun things and we share the gospel. 00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:14.400 And so this Man Camp will be an opportunity for that. 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.160 And so I want to encourage you men to be willing to do that, to come and be a part and bring 00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:21.080 someone with you who does not know Christ. 00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:26.040 And that day they will be introduced to Him and hear all about Jesus. 00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:28.400 Number two is our Harvest Hangout. 00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:31.100 These cards are on the rows around you. 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:35.380 Again, another great way for us to engage with our community. 00:01:35.660 --> 00:01:38.520 So I want to make sure everybody hears this because sometimes there's some confusion. 00:01:38.860 --> 00:01:38.960 All right. 00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:43.420 This is an event for you to come to, for you to participate in, for you and your family to 00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:44.340 have a blast at. 00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:49.720 It's also an event for our community where we can go to engage our community with all 00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:51.560 the things that are happening and taking place. 00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:57.060 And so we want to ask that you do both, that you participate in and that you invite to as 00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:57.360 well. 00:01:57.460 --> 00:02:01.460 So be able to grab this, give this to someone maybe that you work with, that you're a neighbor 00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:04.620 of to invite them and their family to come and be a part. 00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:08.340 There will be fun for those of all ages. 00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:09.440 We will have a blast. 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:09.780 All right. 00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:12.480 We do need some more volunteers. 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:17.300 And so if you're willing to volunteer to do a trunk that night, to run a game, to serve 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:20.100 in different capacities, please make us aware. 00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:22.500 But we would love to have you be a part of that. 00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:29.460 And then this past week, this Thursday was our first official Thursday of mobilizing men 00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:32.040 and women to go out into our community to serve. 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:37.900 We ended up with two projects that day, one up in Clinton, South Carolina, in Lawrence County, 00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:43.160 and then the other here in Lexington County and had, I believe, I think the number that 00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:46.620 I heard was 24 people showed up to go out and serve that day. 00:02:46.940 --> 00:02:48.400 And so it was just a wonderful blessing. 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.940 And we're continuing on with that this week. 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.580 So we've got, as of right now, we've got one project. 00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:58.000 We'll be going back up to Lawrence County to hopefully finish up what we got started. 00:02:58.540 --> 00:03:03.060 And so if you would like to be a part of that, there's two ways that you can make me know. 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.320 I'll make sure that we're clear on this. 00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:09.400 If you let me know today, I'm going to take my sermon outline notes and hand you a pen and 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.760 you're going to write your name down and then we've got you on record to go. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.860 But we will also send out an email this week. 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.520 And so you can reply to that. 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:17.780 All right. 00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:19.040 You don't have to do both. 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.380 If you do one, that's good. 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.620 But we'd love to have as many people come out and to serve as possible. 00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:26.220 It will be some more chainsaw work. 00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:28.120 But then also I want to throw this out there. 00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:32.480 As you guys know, not every tree that fell was a small pine tree. 00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:36.540 There's some really, really, really big trees. 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:41.180 And when I heard that this place we were going had big trees, I thought, I've cut, I've seen, 00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:42.740 I've worked on some big trees. 00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:44.980 And then we show up and saw these trees. 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.200 And these trees were the great granddaddies of all of the trees that I had seen. 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.580 And so we need some additional help. 00:03:52.660 --> 00:03:53.560 We need some heavy equipment. 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.300 And so if you've got something that can help us lift up some of these trees, 00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:01.760 some of them that are wedged down in the ground, we would greatly appreciate that. 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.240 And you can come and talk to me afterwards. 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.640 If you would like someone, if you would like to donate your heavy equipment and let me play on it, 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.180 I'm also down for that. 00:04:13.160 --> 00:04:14.640 And just bring it Monday. 00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:17.660 And I know what I'm doing Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, right? 00:04:18.020 --> 00:04:18.920 As we get ready. 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.140 No, in all seriousness, I will break it. 00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:25.000 So you come and you operate that thing, all right? 00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:28.860 I will absolutely break it and myself in doing that. 00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:30.540 But we'd love to have you. 00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:34.160 Again, we'll be meeting about 7.30 in the morning on Thursday to go out. 00:04:34.760 --> 00:04:38.220 So over the last several weeks, we've been doing something a little new as we get started. 00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:47.200 And we've been reading a verse together as a church that helps us zero in on what I hope God has, 00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:53.020 what God has done in me as I studied this passage of Scripture and what I hope that God's going to begin to do. 00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:55.160 Kind of like a theme verse for the week. 00:04:55.440 --> 00:04:58.840 I want to be honest with you, Genesis 34 is a little complicated to find that. 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.500 Like we're going to see in just a minute there's a lot of ugly that's in this. 00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.480 And so as studying and preparing, I knew this week would come. 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:16.900 And just kind of reading through and preparing, God took me to a different verse that we're going to look at this morning to lead us into Genesis 34. 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:24.060 And so I'm going to read 1 Corinthians 13, I'm sorry, 1 Corinthians 16, verses 13 through 14. 00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:26.560 Be watchful. 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.420 Stand firm in the faith. 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.020 Act like men. 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:34.280 Be strong. 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.100 Let all that you do be done in love. 00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:41.300 Would you pray with me? 00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:44.940 God, we thank you for the truth of your word. 00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.980 God, I pray that as we study your word that your spirit would speak to our hearts. 00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:52.760 Bring us to a spot of repentance. 00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:58.960 God, I pray for the elimination of me and more of you. 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:01.780 And it's in Jesus' name we pray. 00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:02.980 Amen. 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.700 I entitled this message today, 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:12.220 We Need Godly Men. 00:06:13.820 --> 00:06:16.520 I'm not saying that we don't need godly women. 00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:19.740 We absolutely need godly women. 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.800 As we study this passage, as I study this passage in Genesis 34, 00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:28.140 the overwhelming truth, 00:06:29.080 --> 00:06:32.360 and we've seen this play out in the course of Scripture, 00:06:32.580 --> 00:06:35.100 and in the history of the world, 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.460 is this blatant truth 00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:43.100 that we need godly men. 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.160 We need godly men in our homes. 00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:47.460 We need godly men in our churches. 00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:50.160 We need godly men in our schools. 00:06:51.340 --> 00:06:52.760 We need godly old men. 00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:54.380 We need godly young men. 00:06:55.880 --> 00:06:57.260 We need godly men. 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.740 And if you're here and you're like, 00:07:00.820 --> 00:07:04.000 well, we're leaving out roughly 50% of the population, 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.600 I want to speak a little bit about gender. 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.560 If you're new here, 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.540 or if you're unaware or uninformed of my views on this, 00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:17.820 but hopefully you've been around and you know, 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.320 I want to share four truths 00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:24.260 of my theological understanding of where I lie 00:07:24.260 --> 00:07:25.540 as we get into this very, 00:07:25.900 --> 00:07:28.140 very complicated passage in Genesis 34. 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:30.920 Number one, I believe from the Bible 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.760 that what we see is that God made men 00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:33.580 and God made women. 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.340 God made them equal. 00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:38.600 God made them both in the image and likeness of God. 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.860 I am not better than my wife, 00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:44.340 and my wife is not better than me. 00:07:46.840 --> 00:07:51.060 I believe that God made men and women different, 00:07:51.940 --> 00:07:54.600 both being made in the image of God. 00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:00.660 Aaron and I are not the same. 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:06.900 And with that, I made a man, 00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:08.880 and she has made a woman, 00:08:09.700 --> 00:08:10.540 and that's who we are. 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.180 I believe that God made men and women equal, 00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:19.960 both being made in the image of God, 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:25.260 while calling men to specific areas of leadership, 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.980 both in the home and in the church. 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.340 Again, this does not mean that women are less than men. 00:08:34.020 --> 00:08:35.420 In fact, if we want to do a, 00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:38.400 if we want to have a separate conversation later, 00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:41.900 let me summarize probably a three-hour conversation 00:08:41.900 --> 00:08:45.120 with a sentence. 00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:49.360 I feel, I believe that men are called to lead 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.480 in a sacrificial manner, 00:08:52.280 --> 00:08:55.220 and the problem is many of us do not. 00:08:57.380 --> 00:08:58.820 Maybe we don't lead, 00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:01.600 or the manner in which we do lead 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.560 is not sacrificial, but is selfish. 00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:06.320 That's why the Bible says, 00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:08.100 husbands, love your wife 00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:10.080 as Christ loved the church 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.260 and gave himself up for her. 00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:15.320 I believe, 00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:18.420 and some of you may criticize me of this 00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:20.340 and say that I'm taking the easy way out, 00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:24.140 but I believe largely the problem 00:09:24.140 --> 00:09:28.540 is not with the ladies in the room, 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.800 but with us men. 00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:34.980 I believe this is the problem that we see 00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.700 in the church 00:09:36.700 --> 00:09:39.160 and families today. 00:09:41.300 --> 00:09:42.640 I believe men, 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.320 we've created an environment, 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.440 many of us have, 00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.420 where godly women 00:09:48.420 --> 00:09:51.320 cannot simply be godly women, 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.340 but because of our disobedience, 00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:57.980 must also take on the role 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:00.020 of godly man, 00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:02.480 because the man is not godly. 00:10:04.180 --> 00:10:05.780 This isn't always the case, 00:10:06.780 --> 00:10:08.060 but it is common 00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:09.960 and is broken. 00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:12.160 So guys, 00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:14.700 it's me and you today, 00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:16.940 and ladies, 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:18.420 thank you. 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.480 Let me reread 1 Corinthians 16, 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.360 13 through 14. 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:26.020 Be watchful, 00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:29.260 stand firm in the faith, 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.520 act like men, 00:10:34.260 --> 00:10:35.280 be strong, 00:10:36.780 --> 00:10:38.600 let all that you do 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.760 be done in love. 00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:44.520 I was having a conversation earlier 00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:45.760 with someone, 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.420 a female of our church, 00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:51.740 and I was talking about 00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:53.780 this topic 00:10:53.780 --> 00:10:54.640 that we're going to talk about 00:10:54.640 --> 00:10:54.860 today, 00:10:55.040 --> 00:10:55.840 I asked for prayer. 00:10:57.140 --> 00:10:58.560 And I made this statement, 00:11:00.140 --> 00:11:02.160 that godly leadership 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:03.180 in the home 00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:06.680 does not mean 00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:08.500 that the wife 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:11.960 doesn't have a voice, 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:14.240 doesn't have an opinion, 00:11:14.900 --> 00:11:16.260 doesn't have perspective, 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.860 and doesn't speak truth. 00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:23.420 If you don't believe me, 00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:25.200 ask my wife. 00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:29.080 And I say that 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.980 not in criticism of her, 00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:35.400 but an encouragement of her, 00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:38.440 of who she is 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.100 as she watches 00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:42.980 and observes me, 00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:43.900 and trust me, 00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:44.620 she does. 00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.880 Oh, she's watching me. 00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:49.680 She's observing me. 00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:53.280 And as she sees me 00:11:53.280 --> 00:11:56.000 desiring above all things 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.320 obedience to the Lord 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.280 and sacrifice for my family, 00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:06.200 she follows 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.160 not as a mindless zombie, 00:12:11.260 --> 00:12:12.660 but as a woman of God. 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:17.340 And when I step out of line, 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.580 Trisha, 00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:20.200 you shouldn't laugh 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:20.960 that hard at me. 00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:25.200 Ain't that right, Chris? 00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:25.860 All right. 00:12:27.140 --> 00:12:29.280 When I step out of line, 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:30.660 guess what? 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:33.320 She lets me know. 00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:38.420 And in complete honesty, 00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:41.280 not in the moment, 00:12:42.380 --> 00:12:43.720 but sometimes over the next 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.800 five to seven days, 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.920 I thank God for it, right? 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:49.800 Paul, 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.000 at the end of one of the most 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.240 messiest situations 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.300 that we see in Scripture, 00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.780 writes 1 Corinthians 16. 00:13:00.520 --> 00:13:02.240 And I wish we had the time 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.960 to journey all the way 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.940 through all that's going on. 00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:05.940 But we don't. 00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:08.220 But he gives some commands 00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:08.740 to the church. 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:10.960 Some of these commands 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.700 are pretty simple to understand. 00:13:14.140 --> 00:13:14.480 He says, 00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.320 be watchful. 00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:19.960 It's a two-pronged command 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.920 that Paul gives. 00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:23.240 When you read all 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:23.940 of 1 Corinthians, 00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.600 you see Paul's given 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.140 instruction, 00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:27.380 watch out for evil 00:13:27.380 --> 00:13:28.960 and watch out 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.000 for the Lord's return. 00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:33.360 Be watchful. 00:13:34.900 --> 00:13:35.320 He says, 00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:37.440 stand firm in the faith. 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.340 Have correct doctrine. 00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:40.440 Have correct doctrine. 00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:41.400 It's important. 00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:42.980 Like, I emphasize this 00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:44.560 over and over again, 00:13:44.780 --> 00:13:45.520 both to myself 00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:46.160 and to you. 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.720 What we believe matters. 00:13:49.260 --> 00:13:51.440 And we must hold truth 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.520 to God's Word, 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:54.400 not just in the areas 00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:55.180 that we like, 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.380 but in the areas 00:13:56.380 --> 00:13:57.480 we struggle with as well. 00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.620 Stand firm in the faith. 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.040 Have correct doctrine. 00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.180 Do not waver. 00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:06.980 We'll skip one. 00:14:08.520 --> 00:14:08.820 He says, 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.560 be strong. 00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:11.740 Be strong. 00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:13.480 He said, 00:14:13.520 --> 00:14:14.660 be bold in the faith. 00:14:15.900 --> 00:14:16.520 It's a church 00:14:16.520 --> 00:14:17.260 that would experience 00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:17.980 persecution. 00:14:19.640 --> 00:14:20.600 Stand firm. 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:22.720 When they push you, 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.660 stand firm. 00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:25.280 When they attack you, 00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:26.340 stand firm. 00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:28.700 And he says, 00:14:28.760 --> 00:14:29.980 let all that you do 00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.200 be done in love. 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:34.880 Love 00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:37.340 that we'll see 00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:40.460 used in Genesis 34 00:14:40.460 --> 00:14:44.840 incorrectly. 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:48.580 Paul's not talking 00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:49.400 about a feeling. 00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:50.640 He's talking about 00:14:50.640 --> 00:14:51.280 a positioning. 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.120 Let all that you do 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.300 be done 00:14:55.300 --> 00:14:56.520 in the position 00:14:56.520 --> 00:14:57.960 as the recipient 00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.620 of the love of Christ. 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.240 So speak with truth 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:02.880 and grace. 00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.300 Be bold for your faith. 00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:07.980 But then there's 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:08.580 that little 00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:11.060 three-word phrase. 00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:13.260 Paul says, 00:15:13.540 --> 00:15:14.160 act like men. 00:15:15.780 --> 00:15:16.700 That's what grabbed me 00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:17.100 this week. 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.360 Some modern 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.180 translations 00:15:21.180 --> 00:15:23.460 take out this. 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.460 Yours may. 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:25.480 I think the NIV 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.980 changes it up. 00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:28.360 I think the New King James 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.080 changes it up as well. 00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:33.160 And instead it says, 00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:33.840 be courageous 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.800 or be brave. 00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:40.280 While being brave 00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:40.840 is great, 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.380 is good, 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.820 be courageous 00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:43.360 is good, 00:15:44.140 --> 00:15:46.100 it's inaccurate. 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.280 The word 00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:50.660 in the Greek 00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:53.500 means 00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:55.600 act like men 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.120 or the command 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.020 be a man. 00:16:04.900 --> 00:16:06.000 That's a phrase. 00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:08.280 Be a man. 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:10.760 That could be a trigger 00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:11.440 for some people. 00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:14.700 I think Paul's 00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:15.960 using this phrase 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.040 as he is addressing 00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:19.540 the men 00:16:19.540 --> 00:16:20.140 of the church. 00:16:21.560 --> 00:16:22.200 Act like men. 00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.380 Act like men. 00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.320 Act like men. 00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:28.860 So what does that mean? 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:32.000 Act like a man. 00:16:33.540 --> 00:16:34.440 What does it mean 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.340 be a man? 00:16:38.540 --> 00:16:39.640 If I were to sit down 00:16:39.640 --> 00:16:40.720 with a group of men 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.160 in our congregation, 00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:45.840 all men 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.600 who put their faith, 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:48.800 hope, 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:49.840 and trust in the Lord 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.560 and ask that question, 00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:54.400 what does it mean 00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:55.140 to be a man? 00:16:57.140 --> 00:16:58.320 I would bet 00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.520 that all of us 00:16:59.520 --> 00:17:00.860 would have some 00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.760 different perspectives 00:17:02.760 --> 00:17:04.600 to our answer. 00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:06.820 So I think it's 00:17:06.820 --> 00:17:07.740 a great question 00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.460 to ask 00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:10.080 and have a conversation 00:17:10.080 --> 00:17:10.880 so what does it mean 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.500 to be a man? 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.140 But I think 00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:13.360 the greater question 00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:14.960 that we're going 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:16.060 to look at today 00:17:16.060 --> 00:17:17.920 more specifically 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.020 in Genesis 34 00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:20.380 is to ask this, 00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.460 what does it mean 00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:22.600 to be a godly man? 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.160 What does it mean 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.260 to be a man 00:17:28.260 --> 00:17:30.220 who in all areas, 00:17:30.360 --> 00:17:31.320 in all ways, 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.340 desires God 00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:35.520 for himself, 00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.020 for his family, 00:17:37.260 --> 00:17:38.240 and for others? 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.380 Two things 00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:42.340 as we get into this 00:17:42.340 --> 00:17:42.920 and then we're going 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.240 to dive right in 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.220 and get into the mess. 00:17:46.780 --> 00:17:47.420 Two things. 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:48.120 Number one, 00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:50.700 please let today 00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:51.560 be the reminder 00:17:51.560 --> 00:17:52.260 that the people 00:17:52.260 --> 00:17:52.820 of the Bible 00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:53.780 are not our standard 00:17:53.780 --> 00:17:55.740 and that Jesus is. 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.000 Jesus 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.760 is our standard. 00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:03.880 Number two. 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.660 Today we'll hear 00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:19.260 about the sexual assault 00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:19.760 and rape 00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:20.480 of Jacob's daughter. 00:18:23.780 --> 00:18:26.380 as I deal 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:27.120 with this topic. 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.340 I want to be sensitive 00:18:30.340 --> 00:18:30.940 and truthful 00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:33.380 with my words 00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:37.200 as I communicate 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:37.880 God's truth. 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:39.900 But I do want 00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:40.460 to say this. 00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:43.240 As we read through this 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.720 and we're going 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.060 to get into it,

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:52.680 deserve 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.140 what happened 00:18:53.140 --> 00:18:53.380 to her. 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:00.480 And whether 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:00.980 you're male 00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.520 or female, 00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:03.860 whether you're 00:19:03.860 --> 00:19:04.140 a man 00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:04.540 or a woman, 00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.600

sons of the deceiver 00:27:27.260 --> 00:27:28.320 are going to deceive. 00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:30.080 It's a whole other message. 00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:33.080 Verse 14. 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.980 They said to them, 00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:39.140 we cannot do this thing 00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:40.260 to give our sister 00:27:40.260 --> 00:27:42.860 to one who is uncircumcised. 00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:44.740 For that would be 00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:46.080 a disgrace to us. 00:27:48.060 --> 00:27:49.520 Only on this occasion 00:27:49.520 --> 00:27:51.500 we will agree with you 00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:53.300 that you will become 00:27:53.300 --> 00:27:54.160 as we are 00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.320 by every male among you 00:27:56.320 --> 00:27:57.520 being circumcised. 00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:00.440 Then we will give 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:01.780 our daughters to you 00:28:01.780 --> 00:28:03.220 and we will take 00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:05.060 your daughters to ourselves 00:28:05.060 --> 00:28:07.880 and we will dwell with you 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:09.660 and become one people. 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.400 But if you will not listen to us 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:13.720 and be circumcised, 00:28:13.840 --> 00:28:14.840 then we will take 00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:15.500 our daughter 00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.540 and we will be gone. 00:28:17.620 --> 00:28:18.840 So Jacob's sons, 00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.920 they agree 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:21.920 to deception 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.940 to seek revenge 00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:24.700 for their sister. 00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.700 They say, 00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:31.580 we'll agree to your standards, 00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.820 but first, 00:28:33.080 --> 00:28:34.480 all of the men. 00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:37.900 you must be circumcised. 00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:40.380 Verse 18. 00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.080 Their words pleased 00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:47.860 Hamor and Hamor's son, 00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:48.600 Shechem. 00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.520 And the young man 00:28:51.520 --> 00:28:52.540 did not delay 00:28:52.540 --> 00:28:53.440 to do the thing 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.480 because he delighted 00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.140 in Jacob's daughter. 00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:59.100 He was the most honored 00:28:59.100 --> 00:29:01.540 of all of his father's house. 00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:04.600 So Hamor and his son, 00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:04.920 Shechem, 00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:05.900 came to the gate 00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:07.220 of their city 00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:09.160 and spoke to the men 00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.020 of their city, 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.540 saying, 00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.960 these men are at peace 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.600 with us. 00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.060 Let them dwell 00:29:15.060 --> 00:29:15.880 in the land 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:17.140 and trade in it, 00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:17.860 for behold, 00:29:18.260 --> 00:29:19.200 the land is

00:31:42.080 trouble on me 00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:44.880 by making me stink 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:46.180 to the inhabitants 00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:46.880 of the land, 00:31:47.820 --> 00:31:48.720 the Canaanites 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.320 and the Perizzites. 00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.600 My numbers are few 00:31:52.600 --> 00:31:54.520 and if they gather 00:31:54.520 --> 00:31:56.140 themselves against me 00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:57.480 and attack me, 00:31:58.020 --> 00:31:59.160 I shall be destroyed, 00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:00.660 both I 00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:01.800 and my household. 00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:06.380 But they said, 00:32:07.320 --> 00:32:09.220 should we treat 00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:09.940 our sister 00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.040 like a prostitute? 00:32:16.540 --> 00:32:17.360 And that's 00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:18.140 Genesis 34. 00:32:21.820 --> 00:32:23.800 All of this unfolds. 00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:27.140 Jacob looks at his sons. 00:32:29.540 --> 00:32:30.120 He says, 00:32:30.220 --> 00:32:30.800 What have you done? 00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.920 What will others 00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.560 think of me? 00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:37.020 What will others 00:32:37.020 --> 00:32:37.640 do to me? 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.060 Simeon and Levi 00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:43.180 say, 00:32:43.300 --> 00:32:43.580 Well, look what 00:32:43.580 --> 00:32:44.340 they did to our sister 00:32:44.340 --> 00:32:46.720 with revenge 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.380 in their heart. 00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:50.960 And it's a sad story. 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:54.200 And notice, 00:32:56.200 --> 00:33:04.700 nowhere in chapter 34 00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.460 as God mentioned. 00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.100 Nowhere. 00:33:12.060 --> 00:33:13.020 So we look at this 00:33:13.020 --> 00:33:13.840 as a case study. 00:33:15.580 --> 00:33:15.840 Men, 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.020 what does it mean 00:33:20.020 --> 00:33:20.960 to be a godly man? 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:25.380 keeping Jesus 00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:28.780 as our standard. 00:33:30.940 --> 00:33:31.420 Jesus 00:33:31.420 --> 00:33:33.460 as our example. 00:33:36.020 --> 00:33:37.420 We can look at this, 00:33:39.760 --> 00:33:41.080 stand on this side 00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:41.940 of the story, 00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:46.940 and go, 00:33:47.060 --> 00:33:47.780 well, I'm not that. 00:33:54.780 --> 00:33:55.620 And while 00:33:55.620 --> 00:33:59.140 our actions 00:33:59.140 --> 00:34:02.720 might not be that, 00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:04.880 I'm going to tell you 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:05.400 something, men. 00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:07.520 Sometimes 00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:09.460 our heart 00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:10.060 is that. 00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:13.340 No,

00:34:22.100 --> 00:34:22.940 And the Holy Spirit 00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:23.580 begins to work. 00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.700 The Holy Spirit 00:34:25.700 --> 00:34:26.280 begins to move. 00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.700 Because here's what we see. 00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:29.860 Let's understand 00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:30.280 what it means 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.140 to be a godly man. 00:34:33.000

00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:47.960 to God. 00:34:48.740 --> 00:34:49.040 Jacob 00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:49.880 stopped. 00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.320 God called him 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:53.000 on a journey. 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:54.080 God called him 00:34:54.080 --> 00:34:54.760 on a plan. 00:34:55.060 --> 00:34:55.840 God called him 00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.820 to follow me. 00:34:57.040 --> 00:34:57.720 You'll be blessed. 00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:58.600 God called him 00:34:58.600 --> 00:34:58.920 to go 00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.460 where I tell you 00:34:59.460 --> 00:34:59.820 to go.

00:35:11.920 I don't know 00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:12.340 if the journey 00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:13.160 got too hard 00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:14.840 or if he got 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.440 too lazy. 00:35:16.220 --> 00:35:17.120 But he stopped. 00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:18.920 And here's 00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:19.520 what I see 00:35:19.520 --> 00:35:20.460 time and time 00:35:20.460 -->
