IntroductionThe Model for Husbands:

Jesus Christ

Prophet – Priest – King

“If I wanted to find out whether a man was a Christian, I wouldn't ask his

minister. I would go and ask his wife. If a man doesn't treat his wife right, I

don't want to hear him talk about Christianity. What is the use of his

talking about salvation for the next life if he has no salvation for this?”

~ D. L. MOODY

Genesis 1:26-27 ~ God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;”

Bob Lepine – The Christian Husband:Understanding the unique way in which you were created doesn't make you fully a man. Getting married and having a family doesn't make you a man. Success in the marketplace, great wealth and power, and the honor and praise of the culture are not the measure of real masculinity. To be fully a man, you must commit yourself to the pursuit of godliness.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14: “Be alert, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.” Some translations of the Bible

take the clause “be brave” and translate it “act like men”.

“act like men” is a call to maturity, to conviction and to courage.

John 15:13 ~ “Greater love hath no man than he lay down his life for another.”
