God's Focus: The Heart Over Appearance 0:02 Welcome to Men's Breakfast with John Mark Keaton. Join us as John Mark shares his insights with other men in his ministry rooted in the timeless truths of the gospel. Today's message will encourage you to0:14 inspire, inform, and invest in the lives of others. This is men's breakfast with your host, John Mark Caton.0:22 Alright. There we go. Hey, first timers. Glad to have you here. We do start a new series, today that you see up here entitled the Warrior's Heart. Let me tell you where that came from. As we're closing the,0:34 the end of the year, if you were here the first Sunday of the year when I talked about, research on overall, like people's top 10 resolutions. What people really wanna change in 200:46 25 as opposed to 20 24 and there were some changes. And, this series came out of, as I did a deeper dive, what I started doing is as I was looking at resolutions,0:58 I began to kick out all the ladies responses. Alright? I said, hey, what are dudes going through in 20 25? Because that's what matters when we're talking about it in here. So I shared a list,1:10 on on that first weekend of overall resolutions according to all the artificial intelligence out there when people are just putting them on Pinterest or whatever and I'm assuming a bunch of you guys are not on Pinterest.1:22 We took it out and said, what about men? When they find what men are facing, not what they want, but what are men facing in 201:33 25. And, here's a list that that I came up with and so I just really said, you know what? As we journey into 20 25, guys, we're facing some stuff. Now here's what I know when I go through this1:45 list. Some of you, are gonna say, yeah I'm struggling with that. Then another 1 you're gonna say, yeah that's not my issue. And then some of you are gonna say, You know, no 1 else at this table, no 1 else in this room1:55 knows that I am struggling with that. And so, let's just look at the top challenges men are facing and we really want a warrior's heart. And that's the message today is what does the heart of the2:07 warrior look like? And, we're going to be looking at David and Goliath. We all know that story, but I'm going to bring out a few things because today we're going to talk about your heart. Then, as we look further into2:15 the series, we're going to talk about our weapons, we're going to look at a bunch of other things, but it starts with the heart. And as we think about that story of David and Goliath, there were 2 things that continued2:25 to happen over and over again. Alright? Every day it says, Goliath would come out of the Philistine camp and he would challenge the men of2:37 Israel. And go read it, he says it multiple times, he says, give me a man. How many of you remember that? He says, give me a man. Just just bring a man out. And the2:49 Philistines day and the and the Israelites didn't have a man that would go out until the little shepherd boy showed up. And David shows up. And and I I3:00 believe as we journey into 20 25, I believe the world is saying give me a man. Maybe your wives are saying give me a man. Maybe your kids are saying give me a man. Maybe3:12 your grandkids are saying give me a man. Your church is saying give me a man. God is saying give me a man. The second thing that kept happening is the Israelites kept saying to themselves, this3:24 is exactly what it says, he keeps coming out. You get that? That that that Goliath says give me a man, the Israelites said that dude keeps3:36 coming out. How many of you know your enemies will keep showing up? The question is not for us is whether our enemies are gonna keep showing up, it's are we gonna show up? Are we gonna show up to fight the battle? And so3:48 that's where this series comes from and as we journey through the next couple of weeks, we're gonna talk about really what it takes to be the kind of warrior that God calls us to be, but it starts with our heart. Here3:58 are the 7 most common challenges, according to all the different websites that men are going through. And this one's jumped up to the top of the list. If you look over the last couple of years, this has moved up the list4:09 either because we're dealing with it more or we're being more honest about it. And number 1, struggle men are dealing with right now, it's mental health and emotional wellness. We're struggling with4:21 that. And and that used to be something that we didn't talk about in men's groups. Right? That's for the women's groups, that's for the small groups, that's for the women's bible study, mental health, emotional health,4:30 and stuff like that. Interestingly enough, it is at the top of the list. You say, why? So you dig in a little deeper. 1, is because men are more isolated than ever before.4:42 We're we're caught in our digital environment. We're caught in a world, maybe we're working from home, we're sitting in our offices, we're struggling, we need relationships, what we need is this right here. We need to4:54 hang out. We need to be in the mountains together. We need to go to dinner together. We need to hang out. But mental health and emotional wellness, stress and anxiety, we are more stressed out than we've ever been before5:03 as men. To perform at the office, to be what, culture wants us to be, to be what our wives want us to be, what be what our kids need us to be. We're stressed out. More stressed out than ever before. There used to be a5:14 season where dad's just got to roll through life and mom could take care of all that. Right? That's not the way it is, they say. So number 1, struggle is mental health or emotional wellness. Number 2 is,5:26 guys, however they put it, this is the way they phrase it, redefining masculinity. That there is a cultural shift going on as to what is a man. That we have to be a5:38 warrior, we have to go out and defend the family, but then we have to walk in and we have to be this sensitive dude in the house with our wife and kids. How many of you struggle with that? Don't raise your hand. Yeah.5:50 But, you know, it's hard to turn it off. Right? That's what we hear about and we talk about it all the time for for police officers and soldiers who go off to war to come back and be the kind of man6:01 that is needed at home. Does that make sense? Sensitive. Not just a warrior that slays people outside the house, but 1 that can be compassionate inside the house. And so they said, men men are struggling with that6:13 redefining. They're either getting too weak and they can't slay the giant or they're too strong and they can't love their wives. Did you get the difference? Is is there They're6:25 too weak to win the battles that their family needs them to win or they're too strong in the house? Here's number 3, trying to figure out that6:37 work life balance. Trying to figure out that work life balance. The men are having a harder time today than ever before to figure out the work life balance. That, am I not working6:49 enough? Am I working too much? Am I leading the family well financially or am I not leading the family well financially? That work life balance, how much do I pour into my office? How much do I pour into my7:01 wife? How much do I pour into my kids? How much do I pour into my friends? Here's number 4, financial pressures. That with everything that is going on now with interest rates up and all the inflation that7:13 men are worrying about finances more than ever before. And sometimes, this has to do with the generational challenge. Maybe some men are getting closer and closer to the age of retirement and they're7:25 beginning to look at it going, there's not enough. Or maybe you're in that stage where all of a sudden you're having to take care of aging parents. Or 1 of the things I was7:36 reading here, a lot of moms and dads are looking down at their grandkids and realizing their kids can't support their grandkids, so they're beginning to give money to their grandkids. And so, it's interesting,7:48 financial pressures have moved up the list. Why? Because the environment that we live in. We whether it's taking care of your parents or taking care of your grandkids, helping your kids get on their feet, financial7:59 pressures. Here's, number 5. This used to be way up on the list. It's drifted down the list. Not because it's not an issue, but because it's not the top issue on a8:11 man's mind anymore. But our health and our longevity, it's it's I need to be healthier this year. Now you remember you go back to when you added in all the ladies, responses on January8:23 the fifth. This was number 1. In men's minds, when they fill out, surveys, it's number 5. Doesn't mean that we don't know that we need to be healthier. It's8:35 just we have so many other things we are worried about. Does that make sense? That my health has a tendency to go further down the list. Here's number 6. I love to see this, spiritual and8:47 moral challenges that, that people, men are are worried that they are not, as morally right as they used to be. Perhaps it's an internet or an addiction or8:59 something like that. Spiritually, they're not as fired up as they used to be. And so as we think about that, now where are you as you journey into 20 25 in your spiritual life? Well, we know the answer. Just9:11 like in our physical health or our relational health or or with our kids, what is the key? Being consistent, showing a little discipline, making certain things a priority. If you want your health to9:23 be better, you wanna make some discipline. You wanna make some commitments. I'm gonna show up at the gym. I'm gonna be here. Same thing with your spiritual life. And I've been saying over the last couple of weeks, there9:33 are 5 habits, guys, if you wanna get spiritually right in 20 25. And I will promise you, if you will do these 5 things, you will be more spiritually fit, at the beginning of 20 269:44 than you were at 20 25. Number 1 is you wanna stay faithful to worship. Is you wanna be in a corporate environment where we worship together, we'd be a part, of God's people. What does it say in Hebrews? That we may9:56 spur 1 another on toward love and good deeds. And he says all all the way back at the first century, and I shared this, the other day, man, a lot of people say, you know, today's church, today's church, today's church.10:08 Let me tell you what, today's church is just like the first century church. Alright? That people were forgetting or forsaking, Hebrews said, the assembling of ourselves together,Faith Rooted in God, Not Weapons 10:20 as it says, is the habit of some. Don't be that dude and say, I'm gonna be a part of worship. I'm gonna show up. I'm gonna be in worship. Second thing is be in God's word. Personally, that's why we do a10:32 daily bible study, but also in here, find yourself under God's teaching. Where someone has said to you, here's what the bible says, here's how it applies to you, read it yourself. Get in a group, that's what we're doing10:43 here. And it's just great hearing you guys talk. That's why we love going off to the mountain, but find you a life grouper, find you a group of men that y'all just go hang out and have breakfast together. But then10:55 then then you also serve somebody else. Man, God has talented you and gifted you. Let me ask you a question. Is everybody in this room, is every dude in this room serving somewhere in11:07 the church? Just that clear. Are are are you showing up to serve and to love someone else? I hope you are. Because that's why God has gifted you and talented you and given11:19 you the abilities because he wants you to show up and serve in his church. And then finally, be a good steward. Be a good steward. Maybe you look back over the last couple of years, you have I've told Scott a coin here11:30 or a coin there, but I've never really been faithful. Let let this be the year that you become faithful. If you'll do those 5 things, I will promise you will grow more spiritually this year11:42 than you ever had. And so if we're gonna have a warrior's heart, you gotta first define the heart. You gotta know what does my heart look like? What should my heart look like? So let's go. We'll put11:54 this up on the screen. Look at first Samuel chapter 16 verse 7. Looked at the things that you're facing and number 7 was relationship challenges, by the way, if you were happen to type those down. Number 7 was12:05 relationship challenges, with my family, with my kids. But remember David, you know, it was time that, God and Samuel had rejected Saul12:17 as the leader. They realized Saul had gone off the deep end. Saul was never gonna come back and have a real heart for God and a heart for God's people. Saul was all about Saul. Don't ever be a12:28 Saul. Don't ever be the kind of person that someone looks at you and said, man, he is beyond repair. He he is past caring more for others than he does about himself. And so God shows up to the prophet Samuel12:40 and says, hey, go find me go find me my next, king. And so Samuel journeys to a place, Bethlehem, finds Jesse and says, God has told me that 1 of your children is12:52 gonna be, the ultimate king. And so, they roll through 1 king, 1 suit 1 son after another son after another son after another son finally gets down to David. Notice what it says, first first Samuel chapter 16 verse13:04 7. But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider the appearance or his height, for I rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things that people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but13:16 the Lord looks at the heart. Guys, you might be sitting here going, I don't look like much.13:28 God says that's okay. Just say that again. You might be sitting there saying I don't look like much. Now, let me define that. Some of y'all are looking at each other right13:39 now. I saw y'all. I love that. 1, I think I'm pretty sure I saw the Malabowski's talking about you.13:52 Yeah. And now you just point at him. I see it. Here here's the reality, what I mean by that it's not just talking about, man are we good looking or not so good looking, let me just tell you from my perspective we're not14:02 so good looking. Alright? You might think the exact same thing, but here's the point, You might be sitting here going, if these dudes knew what I've done in my life,14:14 they would be shocked I'm in the church. They'd be shocked that the roof haven't hasn't caved in Or, you know, I've I've made commitments to God before and I haven't fulfilled them.14:27 I've started bible reading plans before and failed quickly. You may not look like much, but God wants your heart.14:40 And I love that. Men look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Man, let me guarantee you this, whatever Goliath is in your life,14:52 he's gonna show up in 20 25, and he's gonna look you in the eye, he's gonna look me in the eye, and say, give me a man. Give me a man that'll come out and fight.15:04 The question for us is are we willing to be that man that's willing to step up and come out of the fight? Because the Israelites kept saying, he keeps coming out. How many of you know your troubles, your trials, your15:16 difficulties, your hardships, your addictions, they keep coming out? The question is, are we gonna be the kind of man that shows up and says, I've got the heart to fight? Man, when David showed up for the15:27 battle, he didn't look like much. So, fast forward from, chapter 16 to chapter 17, we're going to start showing you some things. If you're going to be the kind of man that shows up, let me give you15:39 a couple of thoughts. You ready? You're about your heart. Number 1, when I look at David, a warriors heart was rooted in faith, not the weapons he had. And, never David shows up and and15:51 Saul, and he begins to ask about this, Goliath who continues to mock them and, over and over again he's mocking them and David says, yeah what's gonna what's gonna be done for the man that goes and fights him?16:03 Well, they said, well Saul's gonna give you this and this and this and this and his brother kind of attacks him and laughs at him And then he ultimately goes to Saul and Saul says, here's my armor, here's my sword,16:14 here's my everything and it doesn't fit. Remember that? See, the beauty of David's victory is that he cared. His he he his confidence was rooted in his faith, not his weapons.16:27 And so, some of you might be worried that do I have the weapons to fight the enemies in my life? Bigger question is, do you have the faithFocused, Disciplined Choices 16:39 to face the Goliaths in your life? Because if we have that kind of faith, God is gonna show up and empower us to win the battle. Let me just show it to you. Pick it up. We'll read it up there. First Samuel chapter 1716:51 verse 45. It says David said to the Philistine, you come against me with sword and spear and javelin. Remember, David doesn't have his confidence in his weapons. His confidence is in God. He says, but I come17:03 against you in the name of the Lord God Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied. Where was David's confidence? Not in his sword, not even really in his sling. He17:15 was skilled with his sling. He was skilled with the stone, but he says, Listen, my faith is in God. Continue to read on. He said, This day the Lord Who's gonna deliver? The17:26 Lord. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I will strike you down and cut your head off. I love this. He says, I'm gonna strike you down. I'm gonna cut your head off. I'm gonna spit down your17:38 throat. And he goes, and everybody here is gonna see it and everybody else is gonna be shocked. But you've been saying day by day by day, give me a man, well I'm your17:50 man. And guys, my encouragement to us as men at Cottonwood Creek is when culture and the world and Satan shows up and says, give me a man.18:03 Then we will rush to the door. We will move to the battle. We will have to be taking a number who gets the first shot. Right? Because that's who God wants us to be. God wants18:15 us to have the heart that it's not about our weapons, it's about the battle. You want a man? I'll give you a man of God and I'm going to show up. I'm going to fight for my city, I'm gonna fight for my family, I'm gonna18:26 fight for my church, I'm gonna fight for culture. That's what we wanna be. Now, continue to read on. He says, this very day I will give the carcass of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals and the18:38 whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. Men, when you and I respond with faith in God, not faith in our weapons. When we respond18:50 with a strong faith in God and not just our weapons, the world will know. When dudes show up and get sold out, great things19:02 happen. Man, look over the history even of religion, even over Christianity, man. A lot of godly and amazing things have been done by ladies.19:15 Paul, after the life he lived, has an encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, Paul does something amazing. Paul and Barnabas show up together, they get in a little bit of19:27 disagreement, they split up, they are twice as effective in missions and ministry. Then all of a sudden there's a guy named Timothy and Silas that just go down the list. Look at the first and the second great19:39 awakenings when men really get passionate about their faith. So here's the key, is guys, we've got to have more faith in God than we do in our weapons. Man,19:50 we we can't sit around the rest of our lives sharpening our weapons. Sometimes, we just have to show up in the battlefield. And so, let's continue to read. And he says, and all those gathered here will know20:02 that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves. For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our20:14 hands. Did you get that? He says, listen, it's not by sword. It's not by spear. So maybe you're sitting there going, yeah, you know, if if I knew as much as this guy did about the bible, or if I was as close to this20:26 guy, or if I'd grown up in church like that guy. Those are your sword and spear. Listen, that's not where the battle comes from. It's by simply trusting God. So, thought number 1 guys, a warrior's heart20:39 has faith in God, that God is gonna use you more than to have faith in their weapons. See, there are a lot of people that have faith in the weapons, well, I'm skilled at this or I do this or I do that, let me20:51 tell you what, regardless of what kind of weapons you have and how skilled you are, your faith will trump it all. If you can step on the battlefield when Goliath comes out and says give me a man,21:03 if you can step on the battlefield and you can say, let me tell you what, this victory I'm gonna win, it's not because of god. I mean, it's not not because of my weapons, it's all because of god. And so, thought number21:14 1, very clearly, guys have faith faith, more faith in your, God than you do in your weapons. Here's number 2 as we just continue to read on. A warrior's heart will be focused and21:26 disciplined. Remember those 5 things that I said? That will cause you to grow spiritually? A warrior's heart is gonna be focused and disciplined when you journey into the battle. Pick it up in verse21:38 26. Says David asked the men standing near him, what will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from all of Israel? Who is the uncircumcised21:49 Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God? He's saying, who is it? Who is this guy? And we've got to be focused and disciplined to make our journey forward to say22:01 listen, what is gonna be done for me? Let me tell you what'll be done for you. You're not gonna get rich, you're not gonna get wealthy, you're not gonna get this, you're not gonna get a lot of applause, but if you22:13 and I will show up in a focused and disciplined way and understand that is Goliath and this is who I'm fighting for, man, we'll see God move in a powerful way. So he says, what will bePrepare in Obscurity for Battle 22:25 done? Let me tell you what will be done for you. A lot of these things that you face, the 7 top things that men face, if we live a focused and disciplined 20 25, a lot of those will go away.22:37 A lot of those will go away. They will all of a sudden start seeing God's blessings instead of the curses. I I love this if you look at, God's word. If you look at the children of Israel, they've22:49 come out of, slavery and bondage in Egypt, they've journeyed through through the, through the desert. At the end of Deuteronomy, the children of Israel are finally finally about to go into the promised land.23:00 Moses is about to turn over the torch, to Joshua. And as he's turning over the torch to Joshua, he says this, he's quoting God, he says, men, I set before you23:13 life and death, blessings and curses. And then I love what he says, he says, choose wisely. Guys, as we23:25 think about being focused and disciplined, I believe at the beginning of 20 25, the same choices are there for us, that you and I get a chance to choose. Set before you,23:38 life and death, blessings and curses. How how many of you know, let's be honest, how many of you know in the23:50 decisions that you have to make this week, or this month, or this year, you know some things that if you choose those things you're gonna experience curses.24:03 You know, right? We know. That's a bad choice. Right? That's what we usually say, that's a bad choice. That's gonna hurt my family. That's gonna hurt me. I'm not gonna be effective at the24:14 job. Conversely, the other side of that is we also know that there are certain things that if we choose those and are focused and disciplined in continuing to24:26 choose those, we are going to experience blessings. And so, I love what Moses says, I said before you life and death, blessings and cursive, choose wisely.24:40 And, let me add something to that if you go read that in Deuteronomy and he says, and gather around you some men that will help you choose wisely. Guys, let me ask you that. In your life, do you24:52 have men around you? I'm talking about not just near you, talking about with you. Do you have some guys that can speak into your life,25:04 who can be honest with you and say, dude, that that is a choice that's gonna curse your family? It's gonna hurt your kids. It's gonna hurt your career. And25:16 guy guys, do we have guys around us that'll let's choose wisely? For some of us, 20 25, it might not just be choosing wisely, it might be choosing differently.25:29 Where there's some things that you did in 20 24 that became habits and poor disciplines, where the best thing you can do as 20 25 is just choose differently.25:42 And when we do that, we need men around us, especially if we're talking about an addiction or a struggle or some hurt or some relationship thing. Let me tell you what,25:55 we oftentimes are reaping what we've sowed for years and it takes us some seasons to fix it and grow a new crop. Does that make sense?26:07 It's not. Dudes in relationships were kind of funny. Right? Well, first of all, we're terrible at them. Alright? But how many of you know, I mean, we we truly do26:19 think if I say something to my wife, I should be able to say I'm sorry and it's over. How many of you know what I'm talking about? You're good. I'm definitely not. I I don't know about you, but I'm a spiritual giant.26:34 There have been multiple occasions I've looked at Gina and said, I said I was sorry. And, she gives me this stare like like like the sniper stare. Right? She's fixing to shoot me26:46 and I'm like, and I'm being serious. Right? Getting me to say I'm sorry? That's like count that's like climbing Mount Everest. How many of you know what I'm talking about? Right? And I'm26:58 looking her in the eye with all the sincerity in my life, and I said I said I was sorry. And she's like, so? And I'm thinking that's exactly the27:09 problem. The last 6 months I've been sowing the wrong thing. See I finally, what happened is I finally got around to saying I'm sorry. You got it? See, I've27:21 sowed the seeds of saying the wrong things and saying too much sarcasm and blowing things off and all of a sudden I am saying I'm sorry and she's going, but there's a harvest27:33 of those things. And so guys, we wanna as we journey in, man, I want a heart that is faith has more faith in God than I do in my weapons. Number 2, I wanna do develop27:45 a heart that is disciplined and focused on doing the right things over and over and over again, even if in the short term. Even if in the short27:57 term, I don't see the results. Here's number 3, let me jump to to this, write this down. The heart of a warrior is prepared in obscurity.Prepare in Obscurity 28:10 Let me say that again, the heart of the warrior is prepared in obscurity. See, David gets the glory for the battle, but he prepared for the battle when no 1 was looking. Does that make sense?28:23 See, we love to talk about David when he has lightened Goliath up, When he is cutting his head off and he's looking back at the men of Israel and said, let's go get them boys.28:36 We love that, but guys, when did David get prepared for that battle? It wasn't on the battlefield. It was in obscurity.28:48 When he was doing the most menial task his dad could give him, hey go care for the sheep. You got some other brothers here that they're looking like kings and you're looking like a pauper.29:01 And David went out there and prepared himself in obscurity. All of a sudden, he's just out there taking care of the sheep and a lion comes up. I got this. He's taking care of the sheep29:13 and a bear shows up. I got this. All of a sudden he shows up and Goliath is saying, give me a man. And David is looking around going, these dudes look more like men29:24 who should show up on the battlefield than I do. But then it says day by day Goliath came out and says give me a man. And as he said give me a man, David looked around and said where's a man?29:37 And all the Israelite men were saying, he keeps coming out. And David says, I've had enough of this. And so guys, maybe your 20 2529:50 is 1 you begin to prepare in obscurity for the battle ahead. Does that make sense? You say, how do you do that? I'm just going to be faithful in worship. I'm going to serve. I'm going to30:01 read God's word. I'm going to gather around other men that can talk and, you know, like, feed into my life, and that way, perhaps next January, when Goliath shows up in your life, or your30:13 wife's life, or your kid's life, or your church's life, or culture's life, and says, give me a man, 12 months from from now, you'll be able to say, I'm that man.30:25 See, David didn't become that man on the battlefield with light. David became that man in obscurity when no 1 was looking. Guys, there are some of you that need30:37 to step up and say, listen, I'll serve in obscurity. I love in obscurity. I'm gonna read the Bible daily in obscurity, but I'm gonna know there's gonna come a day when I'm gonna have to30:49 go and show up on that battlefield for my family, for my church, for my city, for my culture, for everything, and I gotta prepare now. The time to get ready for the31:01 battle is not when you're in the battle. Let's say that again, guys. The time to get ready for the battle is not when you're in the battle. It's too late. You need to prepare for your battles31:13 20 26 by getting your heart right. See, the heart of the warrior has more faith in God than he does his weapons. The heart of a warrior is focused and31:25 disciplined. I'm gonna put in the work now. And the heart of the warrior, who ultimately slays his Goliath in the days or months or years ahead, will be preparing31:37 right now in obscurity. Let's pray. God, thank you so much for this day. God, thank you for these dudes in the room. God, so many of us, there are so, so many of us in this room are31:48 different levels of our spiritual journey walk. We all can look at others who are so far ahead of us, some others that are far behind us, some of us who are right32:00 where we are. We know it. God, somebody in this room has said, you know, there have been seasons I've been better prepared for the battle. Let this be a season, God, in 20 25 where we prepare for our32:12 next battle, perhaps in obscurity. God, let us be men that are focused and disciplined because our families need us. Our kids need us. Our32:24 church needs us, and you wanna use us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen and amen. Glad you're in God's house this morning, guys. God bless. First timers,32:36 glad to see you. Y'all have a great day.32:38 Thank you for tuning in to Men's Breakfast with John Mark Cayton. For more information on John Mark's ministry and resources, please visit johnmarkkayton dot com.
