What if the most life-changing word Jesus ever spoke isn’t one we pray, but one we’ve forgotten how to say?

When Jesus called God Abba, He wasn’t just using another name—He was revealing the very heart of God. In Week 7 of Stand Firm & Act Like Men, we look at how Jesus’ relationship with the Father shapes our own identity as sons and our calling as dads. What would change in your life if you truly knew God as Abba?

What if the love you feel and the love God commands aren’t the same thing?

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s the defining mark of spiritual maturity and the foundation of how men are called to lead. In Week 6 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby teaches through 1 Corinthians 13 in its true context: unity, leadership, and the daily life of the Church. Even the greatest gifts, achievements, strengths, or sacrifices mean nothing without love. Biblical love is patient, kind, humble, forgiving, enduring, and self-sacrificing—a far cry from the self-focused “love” most of us default to.

Pastor Joby challenges men to look honestly in the mirror, put away childish ways, and leverage their strength not for self-protection or self-gratification but for the good of others. Because love never quits, and we can only love as God commands when we receive the love He first showed us through Jesus.

What if being a godly husband isn’t about how you feel about your wife, but how you love her — even when it costs you everything? 

In Week 5 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, we look at Ephesians 5 and what it truly means to be a godly husband. Biblical love isn’t based on feelings — it’s sacrificial, intentional, and action-driven, modeled after Christ and His love for the church. Whether you’re married or preparing for marriage, this message calls men to lead with humility, pursue with purpose, and love like Jesus. Are you willing to love first, love fully, and love sacrificially?

What if strength isn’t what you think it is?

In Week 4 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin shows how Jesus redefines what it means to be strong. Strength isn’t measured by status, control, or success—it’s revealed in surrender. A strong man is one who rests in Jesus, perseveres through pain, walks humbly under God’s authority, and uses his strength to serve others. When we stop striving for worldly greatness and start depending on Christ, we discover that real strength isn’t about power—it’s about purpose. When you are weak, He is strong. 

So what would it look like for you to become that kind of man?

We are not called to sit on the sidelines—we are called to stand firm.

Week 3 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men calls men to rise up and hold the line—not in their own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. The enemy’s mission is clear: to steal, kill, and destroy everything and everyone we love. But God has equipped us with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer—the full armor we need to fight for our families, our marriages, and the next generation. When you stand firm in your faith, you become the gatekeeper of your home and a warrior for God’s kingdom.

Are you ready to fight for what matters most?

What happens when the defender steps down from the wall?

We are at war. Not against flesh and blood—but against an enemy who would love nothing more than to take men out of the fight. In this message, Pastor Joby calls men to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and act like men as commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14.

From pride and worry to laziness, isolation, and lust—the enemy uses every tactic to destroy those called to protect and provide. But even when we fail, the gospel reminds us: failure is not final. God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes His sons for the battle ahead.

If you’ve ever felt distracted, defeated, or distant from your calling, this message is a wake-up call to get back on the wall and fight for what matters most—your faith, your family, and your future.

Are you watching out, or have you let your guard down?

What happened to godly masculinity?

In this powerful kickoff to the Stand Firm and Act Like Men series, Pastor Joby Martin challenges the cultural narrative and calls men back to their God-given purpose.

From Genesis to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we see that manhood isn’t about muscles, money, or machismo — it’s about being a prophet, priest, king, provider, and protector. God designed men to work with purpose, obey with courage, and love with sacrifice. But sin has distorted that calling, leading to passivity, confusion, and brokenness.

This message is a wake-up call to rise up, reject the lies, and return to the design of the Creator. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to be a man of God, this sermon is for you.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

What if grace isn’t tame or polite—but powerful enough to break chains, change hearts, and carry us home?

Grace isn’t a soft word for a hard world. It’s the fierce, pursuing love of God that goes first, finds us at our lowest, and refuses to let go. From John Newton’s story of rebellion and redemption to Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, we’re reminded that grace is more than a doctrine—it’s a Person.

Have you let God’s grace run wild in your life?
