Model of a Man - Parent Connection

 

Objective - Students will learn about the biblical characteristics of a godly man and will be challenged to develop a biblical worldview of masculinity.

 

Key Scripture - Micah 6:8  He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

 

Lesson Summary - Today’s lesson was the third lesson in a four-part series called Made: In the Image of God. In this lesson, your student learned about the unique role that God has for each man. We talked about masculinity. Your student learned about biblical characteristics for godly men and was challenged to adopt a biblical worldview of masculinity. Specifically, we reminded your student that:

Real men accept responsibility (Micah 6:8).

Real men fear God and keep His commands (Ecclesiastes 12:13; 1 Kings 2:1-3).

Real men model Jesus (Philippians 2:5-11).

We specifically challenged your student to pay attention to the media (movies and videos) that they watch this week to see if they can identify places where the biblical concept of masculinity is being distorted. Make yourself available to your student and discuss the various messages portrayed in our culture that distort biblical manhood. If you have boys, challenge them to adopt the manly characteristics of being responsible, fearing God and keeping His commands, and modeling their lives after Jesus. If you have girls, challenge them to have a biblical concept of what a real man is and to lovingly encourage the guys in their life to step up and accept the responsibility of being a man.
