Manhood on the Mount - Part 1Sample

Manhood on the Mount - Part 1

DAY 3 OF 7

In this discussion, we initiate our exploration from Matthew chapter five, honing in on the Beatitudes. We underscore the significance of using the teachings of Jesus, particularly from the Beatitudes, as an exemplary framework for understanding masculinity. Our central theme revolves around the juxtaposition of contemporary cultural perspectives on masculinity with the divine descriptions encapsulated in the Beatitudes, with the aim of drawing valuable insights.

Throughout our journey, we meticulously explore each Beatitude, contemplating statements such as "Blessed are the poor in spirit," and highlighting the promises intricately tied to these virtues. This examination is particularly poignant in today's societal context where traditional notions of masculinity undergo scrutiny. We advocate for a critical examination of prevailing cultural narratives surrounding masculinity and adulting, suggesting a current undercurrent of skepticism towards these established concepts. Our exploration underscores the importance of comprehending both the actions associated with each beatitude and the promises inherent in them, providing a meaningful framework for in-depth discussions about masculinity and manhood. Ultimately, our aim is to shed light on the enduring relevance of these timeless virtues and their pivotal role in shaping the discourse around masculinity.

About this Plan

Manhood on the Mount - Part 1

The Sermon On The Mount sets the tone for everything that Jesus will teach and proclaim later in his ministry. The Beatitudes are revolutionary and create a sharp distinction between what Christians should be and what a Christian should not be. Living out the Beatitudes requires daily surrender to God's will. They are good place to start for men to become better leaders, husbands, and fathers.
