Men Were Made for Dominion | Mark Driscoll on Biblical Masculinity

What does it really mean to be a man according to God's design? In this bold and challenging message, guest speaker Pastor Mark Driscoll explores what the Bible teaches about masculinity, spiritual leadership, and the God-given responsibility men have to lead, protect, provide, and build a lasting legacy. Beginning in Genesis 1, Pastor Mark explains that God created mankind to exercise dominion under His authority. But through Adam's passivity and disobedience, we see how sin causes men to surrender what God has entrusted to them. In contrast, Jesus resisted temptation, defeated sin, and restored what humanity had lost. Whether you're single, married, raising children, or building your future, this message challenges you to reject passivity, overcome destructive habits, and take responsibility for your life and family.
