THE ROLEOF AMAN

INHIS

HOME

GOD INSTITUTED THE HOME

“And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I

will make him a helper comparable to him. Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field

and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature,

that was its name.”Genesis 2:18,19

GOD INSTITUTED THE HOME

“So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and

to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his

ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.”Genesis 2:20,21

GOD INSTITUTED THE HOME

“Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my

flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was

taken out of Man."Genesis 2:22,23

GOD INSTITUTED THE HOME

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and

mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall

become one flesh."

Genesis 2:24

We must look to God’s word for the role a husband and father has in the home – (Not to television or pop psychologist!) - (Ephesians 6:4)

CONCLUSIONA Role of a Man In

His Home

The man is to be the head of the home!!

With both physical and spiritual responsibilities!

When a father neglects his responsibilities in the home he neglects his sacred duty which could have eternal consequences for MANY besides himself!!

It takes courage to be a REAL MAN!!

There will be many trials, challenges and disappointments - but only a REAL GOD FEARING MAN will experience the joys in this life that will translate into joys for all eternity!!!!!

May their tribes increase!!
