• Focus is on the WHO & we can miss the WHAT
  • Melchizedek is a leader and shares qualities with Jesus the perfect man/leader

Men as Prophets, Priests, and Kings

Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said, [prophet] “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”

Prophet

  1. Your strength is preserving truth and facts
  2. You have a strong sense of right vs wrong
  3. You are willing say hard things
  4. You have a sense of urgency
  5. You get a strong positive or negative reaction from people

Priest

  1. Your strength is caring for people
  2. You have a strong sense of mercy, empathy, and compassion
  3. You are willing to walk with hurting people
  4. You have a sense of patience for people in process
  5. You find that most people appreciate and hurting people find you

King

  1. Your strength is stewarding resources
  2. You have a strong sense of responsibility for excellence
  3. You like to plan, architect, and forecast
  4. You don’t mind making decisions and giving directives
  5. You find that some people struggle to relate to you
  • Jesus is Prophet, Priest, King
  • Every man has strengths & weaknesses (like a dominant hand)
  • Men need to learn how to be all 3 to be most effective

Discussion & Prayer

  1. Of the Prophet, Priest, and King how do you mostly see Jesus?
  2. Which of the 3 are you strongest and weakest at?
  3. How can we pray for you?

In this Real Men sermon, Pastor Mark uses Melchizedek, who is said to be a prophet, priest, and king as the basis for men to look introspectively at their strengths and gifting in these three areas.
