Where Have All the Good Men Gone? - Stand Firm and Act Like Men: Wk 1

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
