Jesus, The Man Of Man Church (7 of 7)

"Ain't got time," roared the man as he turned to leave. "Big John is coming to town!"
We've been in a sermon series entitled, "Man Church." We've been talking about the perception among many men that church is for women and children. The modern church draws an attendance that is 61% female and 39% male. The culture and the church have been feminized. We've discussed some of the ways we can "man up" the church. Today, in this final message I want to conclude by talking about THE MAN, the "alpha male," the one who is the BIG JOHN of all mankind, the man Jesus Christ.
Why IS Jesus Christ THE MAN? There are a lot of reasons we could give. We could talk about his courage, his strength, or his loyalty - but I want to focus specifically on the resurrection. Jesus is THE MAN for...
