Fight Club – Week 2

Icebreaker: 

  • Define masculinity. Who are some of the masculine role models in your life?

Going deeper:

Read: Matthew 19:4-6

  • What are some of the core truths that this passage establishes?
  • Why is it important to know these truths?
  • How do these truths influence your life (today, this week, or forever)?

Starting with these biblical truths, we can now assess our understanding of masculinity and God’s design for it.

  • What are some of the roles or purposes God has designed for men?
  • How can you encourage men of faith to perform those roles?

Pastor Doug listed five traits that help men develop into what God calls them to be: competitive, risk-takers, protectors, impactful (desire to make a mark), and sex drive.

  • How is a man’s competitive nature helpful for God’s Kingdom?
    • How can it be detrimental?
    • How do we help men remain competitive for Christ?
  • How is risk-taking beneficial for God’s Kingdom?
    • How can it be detrimental?
    • How do we help men pursue worthy risks?
  • How is the role of protector beneficial for God’s Kingdom?
    • How can it be detrimental?
    • How do we help men protect God’s Kingdom?
  • How is making a mark important to God’s Kingdom?
    • How can it be detrimental?
    • How do we help men remember to make a mark for God’s glory?
  • How is a man’s sex drive beneficial for God’s Kingdom?
    • How can it be detrimental?
    • How do we help men pursue biblical intimacy?

Reflect:

  • Commit to fighting for God’s design in word and deed.
  • Pray for men to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God so that he can raise them up in his image.
