1. INTRO – The Illusion of Satisfaction (2–3 min)

Hook: “We chase women, money, and recognition—but still feel empty. Why?”
Story: a moment when you had success but felt hollow inside.
Truth: We weren’t created just to be comfortable—we were created to be called.
Verse:
“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose his soul?” — Mark 8:36
Transition: “Let’s talk about what really drives a man—and what God says about it.”

Men often confuse being desired with being known.
When love becomes a mirror for ego, it turns into idolatry.
Healthy vision: love as partnership in mission, not escape from emptiness.
Verse:
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 18:22
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church…” — Ephesians 5:25

Many men tie identity to income: ‘If I lose my job, who am I?’
The trap: chasing provision without peace.
Verse:
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” — 1 Timothy 6:10
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33

The stage can become an altar where we worship ourselves.
Men crave honor—but real honor is found in humility.
Verse:
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” — Philippians 2:3
“He must become greater; I must become less.” — John 3:30

The turning point: “What was I made to build, heal, or lead?”
True manhood = responsibility + surrender.
Verse:
“For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart.” — Jeremiah 1:5
Reflection: pain often reveals purpose—God wastes nothing.

A. Look Inward — Identity

What makes your heart beat faster?
Verse: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

B. Look Backward — Redemption

Your scars are clues.
Verse: “He comforts us in all our troubles so we can comfort others.” — 2 Corinthians 1:4

C. Look Upward — Calling

Ask God, not culture, for your mission.
Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

D. Look Around — Action

Serve today, purpose grows through movement.
Verse: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

Recap: Pleasure fades. Purpose endures.
Verse:
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13
Final thought: “You don’t need more applause—you need more assignment.”
Call to action: “Ask God this week: What do You want to do through my life?”

Underscore with calm instrumental.
Tagline voice: “Men aren’t fulfilled by what they collect, but by what they’re called to.”
