Join Lead Pastor Allen Bonnell from Immanuel Baptist Church as he delivers a powerful Father’s Day message titled “What a Man Looks Like.” In this sermon, Pastor Allen explores biblical masculinity, contrasting it with societal ideas of “toxic masculinity” and emphasizing the inherent differences between men and women as designed by God.

Discover what it means to be a man of God in a fallen world. Pastor Allen delves into the five key characteristics of biblical masculinity, drawing inspiration from Paul’s description of Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:25. Learn about the importance of strong male friendships and accountability, the God-given gift of work and purpose, and the spiritual battles men are called to fight. He also highlights the call to live an adventurous life on mission for Christ, and the sacrificial love that motivates true ministry.

This sermon also touches on the reality that “it’s okay to not be okay”, encouraging men to seek help and support when facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or frustration. Pastor Allen emphasizes the courage required to risk it all for Christ, as exemplified by historical figures and modern-day examples like Clayton Kershaw and Charles Pennington.

This message is essential for any man seeking to understand his God-given purpose and for anyone interested in the biblical perspective on masculinity, strength, and service.
