Pastor Mark: Real Men

In Daniel 9, Daniel models three things that a real man can do to grow closer to God - Bible study, prayer, and fasting.

Truly great men are only great because they are empowered by the power of God. In this talk from Real Men, Pastor Mark gives four ways that great men live by God’s power.

There are two main ways to view Jesus – as lion or lamb – and, as men, you need to be both a lion for your family and a lamb with your family. When Jesus returns, He will come back with an everlasting, perfect dominion that will never end.

Daniel modeled for men (and all people) how to pray in every circumstance, even in the midst of adversity, and in this talk from Real Men, Pastor Mark gives six practical prayer principles for men.

In this sermon from Daniel chapter 5, Pastor Mark teaches on 5 things real men should take seriously including the importance of generational legacy and that we can still be used for the Kingdom at any age because we don’t know how much longer we will have to serve on this earth.

In Daniel 4, Daniel is tasked with the tough job of telling King Nebuchadnezzar news he isn’t going to like. From this story, Pastor Mark teaches the importance of connecting with someone before you deliver hard news or correction.

There are many contrasts between the way Nebuchadnezzar lived his life for himself and the way Daniel and his friends lived their lives for God. In this sermon from Real Men, Pastor Mark teaches 10 worldly traits of Nebuchadnezzar and how those contrast with 10 Godly traits of Daniel and his friends.

Any Godly man can learn from the example of Daniel and see six tools that God gives him and he uses throughout his life. In this talk from Real Men, Pastor Mark explains in detail each of these six tools and how you too can use these tools in your own life.
