ACT LIKE A MAN - Part 2

Getting to Know God as Father


2 First things to learn

1. Who God is (Father)
2. Who God says you are (son in Christ)

The Father wants to have a close relationship with you

John 14:6 - Jesus said…“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The Holy Spirit brings you to Jesus – Jesus brings you to Father.

Many men know Jesus (saved), but not much about the Father (healed).

The Father wants to forgive you, and teach you to forgive others

Mark 11:25 - “…whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”

You: Stop hiding. Stop blaming/making excuses. Stop living in past.
Others: Unforgiveness and bitterness are a doorway to the demonic.

The Father wants to help you 

Matthew 7:7-11 - “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

1. Pray godly
2. Pray first
3. Pray specifically 

The Father is seeking worshippers 

John 4:22-24 - “…the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Everyone was made to worship. Everyone worships. 

Worship – who/what is your priority? 

What do you make sacrifices for (time, energy, money)? 

1. We worship our way into trouble, and out of trouble. 
2. We become like what we worship.
3. How can I be a good son right now? 

Discussion Questions

  • Who are you? Briefly introduce yourself.

  • What did God the Holy Spirit highlight for you in the talk?

  • What is the next step you need to take to become the man God is calling you to be?

  • How can we pray for you?
