I'm

I'm going to be.

The Howdy gentlemen, very glad and honored to have you all with us at real men and if you're new this is a good night for you

we're really glad to have you here's how it works my name is mark one of the pastors here at the church

on sundays i do very long very loud loud sermons through books of the Bible.

And then on Wednesday, I get to meet with the men.

And what I like to do is take a few themes from what we've been studying on Sundays and turn it into leadership lessons and lectures.

Because the goal for all of you, men, is to be leaders.

Lead yourself.

God gives you a family

lead your family god puts you in a business lead in business the goal is to lead in love like

christ so what we're going to do tonight we're going to talk about relationships and i'm taking the

title from the old clinn eastwood film the good the bad and the ugly um this is uh this is a great film. And what we're going to talk about is good relationships. That's with wise people. The bad, that's with foolish people. The ugly, that's with evil people. So I'll pray, and we'll jump right in and throw the notes up. Father, God, thank you for an opportunity to get together with the men. God, thank you for the army that you are assembling. And Lord, as the world

is falling down, we want the men to be rising up. As the men are feeling beat down, we want to build

them up. God, as we live in a world where everybody thinks that government is the solution,

we think that husbands and fathers and men fill with the Holy Spirit, like Jesus Christ,

that's really the answer.

And so, God, pray in advance for our time together and pray for us to have wisdom and courage,

wisdom to move forward, courage to do so boldly, and love to do so humbly. In Jesus, good name. Amen.

So we're going to talk a little bit about relationships because we're coming into the holidays.

We're already into November. How many of you holidays?

A little weird because you got in-laws and outlaws.
