Then Jesus came to them and said,

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make

disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the

Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And

surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew

28:18-20Men U For Transformed Lives Copyright © 2012 3

The Apostle Paul

“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable

men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

How do you decide what discipleship activities/events to offer men in your church?

5 Types of Men

1. Men who Need Christ

2. Men who are Cultural Christians

3. Men who are Biblical Christians (or want to be)

4. Men who are Leaders (or want to be)

5. Men who are Hurting


The Big Idea :

Give men what they need in the context of what they want.
