A man doesn't need a seminary degree to be the priest of his family. He needs a growing knowledge of God's Word and a heart for God. In this message from Genesis 3:6–10, Pastor Phil Hopper explains how God calls every man to worship Him, walk with Him, and lead spiritually at home. You'll hear why Adam, who once walked with God, ended up hiding among the trees, and what God's question, "Where are you?", still asks of men today. You'll also see three ways a man serves his family: • The family pastor teaches his children to know, love, and follow Jesus. • The family prophet speaks words that bring life to his wife and children. • The family patriarch leaves a legacy for generations. This episode will challenge you to stop hiding, step into your spiritual authority, and intercede for the people you love.    Find Your Next Step ⤵ https://abundant-life.com/get-involved/whats-next/next-steps/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus? ⤵ https://abundant-life.com/resources/who-is-jesus-to-you/   Connect With Us ⤵ • Facebook: https://facebook.com/abundantlifels • Instagram: https://instagram.com/abundantlifels • Website: https://abundant-life.com   Connect With Pastor Phil On Social Media ⤵ • Facebook: www.facebook.com/philhopperkc • Instagram: www.instagram.com/philhopperkc   Listen to The Well Podcast⤵ • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11 • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2   Watch More Sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/   Get additional teaching to go with sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In this episode, Pastor Phil Hopper unpacks Galatians 6:10-18 and what it means to follow Jesus and bear His marks in a world that avoids suffering. You'll learn why the Apostle Paul pointed to his scars from persecution as evidence of authentic faith, and why we're consecrated to whatever we're willing to die for; until we're willing to die for Christ, we'll never fully live for Him.
