Gorilla story.
We are living in a day and a time when the roles of each individual in a family has been changing.
For example in the previous days men would be leading providers of the family. Slowly women caught up and in some families women are leading. The roles of the men and women have changed. In some cases roles of children have changed.
But the very fact that you are male, doesn't mean that you are man.
What it means to be a man? We all don't know what it to be a real man.
Do you have best examples in your own life. How a man should be?
Growing up in India. We see that a man should be like a movie start who can beat others.
The best example for us could be our own fathers who just earn and provide to us and taught some good habits. and for some the fathers could be hard fathers with whom they might never had joyful discussion.
We grow up in different situations and do we really know what man should be like.
When do you become man? If our son comes and asks what it means to be man, what do you say. Can you say I am your best example or can you say this man or that man is the best example.
In this world there are only 2 kinds of men.
Romans 5:17,18
18 Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Each man in this world can be divided into one of the 2 categories
Male leadership is not natural but super natural.
We will be looking at these two different Adams
The First Adam and the Second Adam.
and we will learn what it means to be a man.
Two different individuals
Two complete different personalities
Two different destinations
Adam
One man through his sin , all were sinners.
but one mans obedience , many will be made righteous.
We will see what real manhood is.
1. Active Leadership
Active Leadership doesn't just sit and laid back and see how the show goes.
Many of us are not proactive.
Just an example:
if the kids are not behaving properly, let the age catchup they will behave. sit back and relax.
if our spouse is nagging, you never take active role of praying for her and talking to her, you will go and laidback and watch tv.
Remember, Job was praying even if there is a celebration at home. An active Leader at home.

Job 1:4-5
4 And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and [c]sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed[d] God in their hearts.”
Genesis 3:6
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was [a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate
First Adam did not actively took leadership and said relax, let her eat and see. He was living being.
Second Adam : Jesus was Son of God. He was full of glory, in communion with Father. Jesus does not need to come. But He was not sitting laid back and watching the story.
He was life giver
1 Corinthians 15:45
45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Active leadership also involves listening to gods voice
Whose voice should win? It's God's voice.
If there is a situation at home, if you think differently and your wife ha s different thoughts , whose thoughts should win?
If your wife's thought s are according to Word of God, go and say
Honey I will listen to this.
Noah was active leader.
2. Responsibility
Genesis 3:12
12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
Adam said woman gave, but what did Adam give ?
Responsibility is most tested in failures.
we all mess up. But when we mess up how do we respond.
First Adam did not take responsibility.
He was asked to take dominion. He left his responsibility.
He committed mistake , but still does not want to take responsibility.
Second Adam
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Although He knew no sin, He took the responsibility and came down took punishment. That is Leadership.
100 percent % in responsibility.
Not just providing food , but take active leadership, take responsibility.
First Adam was Life taker
Second Adam was Life giver.
