Introduction
This video sermon discusses the concept of a "Kingdom Man," emphasizing the crucial role men play in society and the devastating consequences of their absence.

He highlights the societal costs associated with fatherlessness and advocates for men to submit to God's will.
Key Takeaways
- The societal crisis stemming from the absence of Kingdom Men: The speaker cites alarming statistics on fatherlessness and its correlation with crime, poverty, and social pathologies. The absence of men who live under God's authority is presented as a root cause of many societal problems.
- The analogy of NFL referees: The speaker compares Kingdom Men to NFL referees, who must adhere to league rules regardless of player or fan opinion. Kingdom Men, similarly, should submit to God's rules and not prioritize personal desires or public opinion.
- Defining a Kingdom Man: A Kingdom Man is defined as a man who submits to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, living under God's comprehensive rule over all aspects of life. This submission is presented as vital for a man's spiritual well-being and its impact on his family and society.
- God's desire for Kingdom Men: The speaker quotes scripture (Ezekiel 22:30, Malachi 4:6, Isaiah 3:12, Exodus 34:23) to demonstrate God's yearning for men who will represent Him and uphold His principles. God's active search for such men is emphasized.
- The three phases of manhood: The speaker differentiates between male-hood (biological sex), boyhood (dependency), and manhood (responsible, mature, capable of caring for others). Kingdom manhood is presented as a mature phase where a man acts under God's authority.
