Real Men Real Talk~Do It Now!! Series #3 Topic:(Priorities)
PRIORITIES (Goals, Objectives, Purposes)
How can we develop the right priorities
(Proverbs 3:5-6,
KEY BIBLE VERSE: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
About a thousand years later, Jesus emphasized this same truth Look at your values and priorities. What is important to you? In what areas have you not acknowledged him? What is his advice? In many areas of your life you may already acknowledge God, but it is the areas where you attempt to restrict or ignore his influence that will cause you grief. Make him a vital part of everything you do; then he will guide you because you will be working to accomplish his purposes.
Real Men Real Talk~Do It Now!! Series #2 (Topic:Ambition)
AMBITION (Desire, Motivation, Schemes)
How can ambition become destructive?Egyptian priests had great wealth and political influence, something Korah desired for himself. Korah might have assumed that the Israelite priesthood would be the same kind of political machine. He did not understand that Moses’ main ambition was to serve God rather than control others.
How can ambition be controlled?
To be great means keeping a close relationship with God personally and nationally. To do this, David had to keep his ambition under control. Although he was famous, successful, and well liked, he gave God first place in his life and served the people according to God’s purposes. Do you seek greatness from God or from people? In the drive for success, remember to keep your ambition under God’s control.
Real Men Real Talk~Do It Now!! Series #1 (Topic:Fear Is Holding You Back)
FEAR (Awe, Scared, Timid)
Fear of God is motivated by his awesome power and justice.In saying that the Lord is God of gods and Lord of lords, Moses was distinguishing the true God from all the local gods worshiped throughout the land. Then Moses went a step further, calling God “mighty and awesome.” He has such awesome power and justice that people cannot stand before him without his mercy. Fortunately, his mercy toward his people is unlimited. When we begin to grasp the extent of God’s mercy toward us, we see what true love is and how deeply God loves us. Our fear of what he might do to us is transformed into a reverence and awe before his great mercy. Although our sins deserve severe judgment, God has chosen to show love and mercy to all who seek him.

Real Men Real Talk~ The Devil Made Me Do It Series 3 Topic: Waiting
Don"t Let the Devil Talk You Into Tossing Away
Your WAITING (Delay, Lull, Pause)
Waiting gives us opportunity to work out our faith
BIBLE READING: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
Some people in the Thessalonian church were falsely teaching that because Christ would return any day, people should set aside their responsibilities, quit work, do no future planning, and just wait for the Lord. But their lack of activity only led them into sin. They became a burden to the church, which was supporting them; they wasted time that could have been used for helping others; and they became busybodies. These church members may have thought that they were being more spiritual by not working, but Paul tells them to be responsible and get back to work. Being ready for Christ means obeying him in every area of life. Because we know that Christ is coming, we must live in such a way that our faith and our daily practice
Real Men Real Talk The Devil Made Me Do It Series 2 (Topic: Offense)
OFFENSE (Angering, Hurting, Insensitivity)
How can we avoid offending others?
BIBLE READING: Mark 6:1-6
KEY BIBLE VERSE: The next Sabbath he went to the synagogue to teach, and the people were astonished at his wisdom and his miracles because he was just a local man like themselves. “He’s no better than we are,” they said. “He’s just a carpenter, Mary’s boy, and a brother of James and Joseph, Judas and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” And they were offended! (
Mark 6:2-3
Real Men Real Talk The Devil Made Me Do It Series 1 (Topic: Temptation)
EXPERIENCING TEMPTATION?
The Devil Made Me Do,It Series #1
Temptation often hits hardest in our areas of weakness. For all his wisdom, Solomon had some weak spots. He could not say no to compromise or to lustful desires. Whether he married to strengthen political alliances or to gain personal pleasure, these foreign wives led him into idolatry. You may have strong faith, but you also have weak spots—and that is where temptation usually strikes. Strengthen and protect your weaker areas, because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If Solomon, the wisest man, could fall, so can you.

Man Talk Real Men Real Talk Topic: (Friends)
What are the marks of real friendship?
Real friendship is imitating Christ in our relationships.
We are to love each other as Jesus loved us, and he loved us enough to give his life for us. We may not have to die for someone, but there are other ways to practice sacrificial love: listening, helping, encouraging, giving. Think of someone in particular who needs this kind of love today. Give all the love you can, and then try to give a little more

Discernment ( Experience, Understanding, Wisdom)
Discernment is essential in making wise decisions.
By wisdom, James is talking not only about knowledge, but about the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. Whenever we need wisdom, we can pray to God, and he will generously supply what we need. Christians don’t have to grope around in the dark, hoping to stumble upon answers. We can ask for God’s wisdom to guide our choices.
Wisdom here also means practical discernment. It begins with respect for God, leads to right living, and results in increased ability to tell right from wrong. God is willing to give us this wisdom; but we will be unable to receive it if our goals are self-centered instead of God centered. To learn God’s will, we need to read his Word and ask him to show us how to obey it. Then we must do what he tells us.
Enemies ( Antagonist, Attackers, Opponents)
We should consider the consequences before we act.
Sin has a domino effect; once a sin is committed, a series of consequences follow. God will forgive our sin if we ask him, but the consequences of that sin have already been set in motion. David pled for mercy, and God responded by stopping the angel before his mission of death was complete. The consequences of David’s sin, however, had already caused severe damage. God will always forgive our sins and will often intervene to make their bitter consequences less severe, but the scars will remain. Thinking through the possible consequences before we act can stop us and thus save us much sorrow and suffering.

Man Talk! Real Men~Real Talk- Topic-Home (Family)
HOME (Family, Land, Shelter)
What is God’s plan for the home?
And you must think constantly about these commandments I am giving you today. You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning.
1.Home, a place that our feet may leave, but not our hearts
2.He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
3.He that has not rest at home is in the world’s hell.
4.Home is a place where the great are small, and the small are great.
5.Home is not where you live but where they understand you.
6.Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.
7.Home is where life makes up its mind. It is there—with fellow family members—we hammer out our convictions on the anvil of relationships. It is there we cultivate the valuable things in life, like attitudes, memories, beliefs, and most of all, character.

Lust-Why is it so dangerous
Lust can destroy any normal desire. Craving or lusting is more than inappropriate sexual desire. It can be an unnatural or greedy desire for anything (sports, knowledge, possessions, influence over others). In this circumstance, God punished the Israelites for craving good food! Their desire was not wrong; the sin was in allowing that desire to turn into greed. They felt it was their right to have fine food, and they could think of nothing else. When you become preoccupied with something until it affects your perspective on everything else, you have moved from desire to lust.
