It is hard to grow well as a Christian if you do not have good examples to follow. The Apostles started out by following Jesus. The early church followed the Apostles.--Quickly the Apostles began to train men to fill additional leadership roles within the young Church. Paul was a master discipler who called the people to follow him as he followed Christ. And so on down through the ages. For the men of any church there are two basic things they should be doing- Either they are leading as godly examples to follow or they are following godly examples. Anything else is wasted effort and time. The next few sermons describe what it looks like to be a man of God. The purpose is to help men identify who they should be following and to give them a plan of action to put into place in their spiritual walk.
