1. INTRO – The Illusion of Satisfaction (2–3 min)

• Hook: “We chase women, money, and recognition—but still feel empty. Why?”

• Story: a moment when you had success but felt hollow inside.

• Truth: We weren’t created just to be comfortable—we were created to be called.

• Verse:

  “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose his soul?” — Mark 8:36

• Transition: “Let’s talk about what really drives a man—and what God says about it.”

• Men often confuse being desired with being known.

• When love becomes a mirror for ego, it turns into idolatry.

• Healthy vision: love as partnership in mission, not escape from emptiness.

• Verse:

  “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 18:22
  “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church…” — Ephesians 5:25

• Many men tie identity to income: ‘If I lose my job, who am I?’

• The trap: chasing provision without peace.

• Verse:

  “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” — 1 Timothy 6:10
  “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33

• The stage can become an altar where we worship ourselves.

• Men crave honor—but real honor is found in humility.

• Verse:

  “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” — Philippians 2:3
  “He must become greater; I must become less.” — John 3:30

• The turning point: “What was I made to build, heal, or lead?”

• True manhood = responsibility + surrender.

• Verse:

  “For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10
  “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart.” — Jeremiah 1:5

• Reflection: pain often reveals purpose—God wastes nothing.

A. Look Inward — Identity

• What makes your heart beat faster?

• Verse: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

B. Look Backward — Redemption

• Your scars are clues.

• Verse: “He comforts us in all our troubles so we can comfort others.” — 2 Corinthians 1:4

C. Look Upward — Calling

• Ask God, not culture, for your mission.

• Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

D. Look Around — Action

• Serve today, purpose grows through movement.

• Verse: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

• Recap: Pleasure fades. Purpose endures.

• Verse:

  “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13

• Final thought: “You don’t need more applause—you need more assignment.”

• Call to action: “Ask God this week: What do You want to do through my life?”

• Underscore with calm instrumental.

• Tagline voice: “Men aren’t fulfilled by what they collect, but by what they’re called to.”
