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.

Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 20

Dear Parents, This week in The Thread study, we looked at a new perspective. While we know that God’s grace is the only solution for our sin, it is important that we recognize God desires our obedience. In this lesson, titled “The Rise and Fall of Solomon,” students looked at God’s covenant with Solomon. Just as with generations before him, Solomon learned that God disciplines us when we are disobedient. By comparing Solomon’s story with the words of Jesus, students clearly saw that throughout time God has singularly desired our whole heart! We looked at the following Scripture passages: 1 Kings 1:28-30; 3:4-15; 9:1-9; 11:1-13 John 14:23-24 While the whole story of Solomon is fascinating, these passages will help you see the highlights that were studied. Next Steps . . . During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager: ·          So, this week you studied how God views obedience....
