This introductory sermon begins a series on biblical manhood, rejecting cultural definitions in favor of Scripture. Drawing primarily from Genesis 1–3, it examines Adam before the fall to show God's original design for men: bearing God's image, working diligently, guarding what God entrusts, leading with love, and protecting others—especially spiritually. The message calls men to model their lives after Christ, taking responsibility in the home, church, and doctrine, while urging women to allow men to fulfill their God-given role.
