Introducing the Cowards: Little Boy Larry
As part of our look at biblical manhood here on the blog, here is the first of Pastor Mark’s four profiles of typical cowards, from the Marriage and Men sermon, Little Boy Larry. He's a total sweetheart, and he's also a total joke.
... Little Boy Larry is a joke. He gets away with murder, especially in the Christian church where he tends to be majority.
Women who are attracted to these men say, "But I really love him." Yes, you're attracted to him as a mother is attracted to an orphan child, but that's not a marriage. That's a mother-child affection. That is not a wife-husband affection. You don't look at this man, ladies, and say, "I respect him. I want my sons to be like him. I want my daughters to marry men like him." You say things like "He has a lot of potential and no one understands him."
I do, he's an idiot, and he's fooled you.
Next up Coward #2: Sturdy Oak Owen.

Jesus was a man who claimed to be God. Think on that for a minute. If that were true, how would it change the way you thought, felt, and lived this life?
At Mars Hill, we believe that Jesus is God. We take him at his word. Because of this, everything we do is all about Jesus. We invite you to learn more about this man who is God and how you can find forgiveness and new life in him.
Visiting a church for the first time can be nerve-racking. But having an idea of what to expect can help. There are three main parts to every Sunday service: preaching, worship, and kids. To learn more about each of these, click the links below.
Church is more than a service. It’s people living life together and helping one another throughout our cities to serve our cities. Each week, thousands of people at Mars Hill meet in hundreds of small communities to learn about God, pray, eat, laugh, and live. We call these Community Groups—and they’re the heart of our church.
Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.
