This engaging session explores the essential questions of manhood and masculinity through the lens of faith. We examine God’s calling for men to work in the world for His glory, discussing the unique ways in which men are wired physically, emotionally, and mentally for this purpose. Attendees will analyze the role of women as helpers in fulfilling this calling and reflect on Jesus Christ as the ultimate model for masculine character. We will also tackle practical questions about work, masculinity in career choices, and how faith integrates into our daily labor, aiming to uncover a kingdom agenda in every workplace.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. MENat home, at church, at work Murray Capill Dunedin, 7June 2014

  2. Men • what does it mean to be a man? • what is God’s calling on men? • what is manhood and masculinity?

  3. Men • God has given to men the calling of working in his world for his glory • God has wired men for this calling in a distinct way – physically, emotionally and mentally • God has given women as helpers in the fulfilment of this calling • God has given Jesus Christ as the ultimate model of the character men need to pursue their calling

  4. Interaction • Would you be comfortable being a stay at home dad while your wife goes out to work? • If you are raising a son, which of the following careers would you recommend as best expressing masculinity: nurse, fire-fighter, child care worker, ballet dancer, secretary, soldier, lawyer, plumber, hairdresser, engineer. Would you have concerns if your son pursued any of the above? • Since we are all called to work for God in this world, are all jobs callings from God? And if so, are all callings equal, or are some more important than others?

  5. Men at work • men are hard-wired to work • work pre-dates the fall • the first job was that of gardener • since the fall work has become harder but it has not lost its innate worth

  6. Men at work • It is pure invention that Pope, bishops, priest, and monks are called the “spiritual estate” while princes, lords, artisans, and farmers are called the “temporal estate.” This is indeed a piece of deceit and hypocrisy. Yet no one need be intimidated by it, and that for this reason: all Christians are truly of the spiritual estate, and thereis no difference among them except of office. Luther, To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation

  7. Men at work • “God milks the cows through the vocation of the milk maids.” Luther • But how do we live our faith in the context of our work? • disjunction between Sunday and Monday

  8. Men at work • Matt 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

  9. Men at work • We connect our faith and work by working with kingdom character • upside-down, back-to-front, inside out • reflecting Jesus • he expects it to cost us

  10. Men at work • We connect our faith and work by working with kingdom allegiance • God is our real boss Matt 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

  11. Men at work • Colossians 3:22–24 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

  12. Men at work • God as our boss: • stops us from being lazy • stops us from over-working

  13. Men at work • We connect our faith and work by working with a kingdom agenda • “The Kingdom come…”

  14. Men at work • Christ has an agenda to change people, families, communities, nations, this world • We are to work with his kingdom agenda • Creation • Fall • Redemption • Consummation • Work has dignity • Work is hard • Work is transformed • Work is perfect

  15. Men at work • “If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep the streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the host of Heaven and earth will have to pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well.’ ” Martin Luther King Jnr

  16. Men at work • Tradie • Professional • Businessman • Performing arts • House husband

  17. Interaction • How counter-cultural you are in your work setting? In what ways? What is the result? • What would be a proper kingdom agenda in your particular place of work?
