BE THE MAN!

[the man/woman God blesses]                                                                                                

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

For many years there have been expressions like “You the man!” or something similar. Sometimes it was negative as people opposed “the man”, more often it was positive, “The Man of the Hour” or some such like. What does it take to be the man or the woman that God blesses?

 

I. TO BE “The Man” YOU HAVE TO KNOW OF “THE MAN”

 

1. THE MAN Who was Prophesied  [Zechariah 6:12]

 

2. THE MAN Who was Crucified [John 19:5]

 

3. THE MAN Who was Glorified [1 Timothy 2:5]

 

II. TO BE “The Man” YOU HAVE TO BE SAVED BY “THE MAN”

 

1. You Have to “Hear” about THE MAN [Acts 8:29-37, Rm. 10:13-17]

 

2. You Have to Trust THE MAN [Psalm 34:8]

 

3. You Have to Be THE MAN’s [Psalm 32:2, Rm. 4:6-8]

 

III. TO BE “The Man” YOU HAVE TO BE LIVE FOR “THE MAN”

 

1. Live by the Word of THE MAN [Psalm 1:1ff., Psalm 112:1]

 

2. Live by the Wait of THE MAN [Psalm 37:7, 84:5, 12]

 

3. Live by the Hand of THE MAN [Job 5:17, Psalm 94:12]

 

IN CONCLUSION,

Psalm 128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
