“Men’s Empowerment” Genesis 1:26 (NIV) 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. - Genesis 1:26 (NIV) 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) Three Qualities of an Empowered Man When a man's life is shaped in God's hand, he is molded in many ways to reflect the character of God. He's not a perfect man, but in many respects he demonstrates godly attributes. There are three attributes of a godly man that can be drawn from 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." - 1. He is Courageous: There is a courageous spirit that flows from the heart of every godly man; it is the calling card of every man whose life is shaped by close encounters with the Lord. - 2. He is STRONG. Yes, He is a Strong Man: God makes strong men, not necessarily physically strong like Samson. - Strength in this sense is not about muscles but about the ability to be firm, decisive, and resolute. - 3. He is Sound in his THINKING; He is a Sounding Thinking Man: Not every man is sound in his thinking. Until God remakes them, many men are selfish in their thoughts and seek to do things that build themselves up often at the expense of others. When God makes a man, he gives him a job to do but never leaves him alone. Every empowered man whose life has been shaped by the hand of God should remember to always take the Lord with you! ------------------------------ ANNOUNCEMENTS: - PRAYER: Call or eMail Us… 775-786-1017 | Church@SecondBaptistReno.org - PRAYER MINISTRY: Join us for prayer, scripture and inspiration each Tuesday & Friday evenings, 6:30 pm, by calling the SBC Prayer Line, 1-480-660-5305 access code: 816316.

Join us as we continue our discussion on the birth of the church from Acts 2. “Everyday Of The Week” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41-47‬ (‭NIV)‬‬ “Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41-47‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/111/act.2.41-47.niv I. Dipped Into Christ II. Devoted to Community III.
