  1. Welcome to Session 11 The Quest for Authentic Manhood

  2. Romans 7:15, 18, 19, 24 For that which I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

  3. HALF TRUTHS We’re losing out because ofpoor self-esteem. We’re losing out because others are to blame. We’re losing out because of alack of education. We’re losing out because ofdefective genes.

  4. THE HIDDEN TRUTH A. We are allcursedwith a condition known as theDepravity Wound.

  5. The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9

  6. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Ecclesiastes 9:3b

  7. THE HIDDEN TRUTH A. We are allcursedwith a condition known as theDepravity Wound. B. This wound defined: We are allfallenanddefectivecreatures, atoddsby nature with our Creator and each other.

  8. THE HIDDEN TRUTH C. Understood, depravity means… I amseparatedfrom God and under Hisjudgment. I have inherited acorruptnature that no human agency cancure.

  9. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:5

  10. THE HIDDEN TRUTH C. Understood, depravity means… I amseparatedfrom God and under Hisjudgment. I have inherited acorruptnature that no human agency cancure. Mycorruptnature, left unaddressed, inevitablycorruptsmy life with sin.

  11. TWO IMPLICATIONS • The Depravity Wound requires a spiritual solution only God can give. • Admitting my Depravity Wound is the essential “first step” to finding a real, authentic relationship with God (and not just more religion!).

  12. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3
