The Godly Man: When God Touches a Man’s Life

The Godly Man: Faith and Faithfulness — Following the Invisible God

Following the Invisible God begins the series’ faith and faithfulness studies. Paul J. Bucknell explores how knowing God’s faithfulness strengthens our faith, using Abraham in Genesis 15:6 to show how God grows trust in His promises. Men are called to look beyond what is seen and follow the reliable God who speaks, promises, and fulfills.

The Godly Man: The Secret of Humility

Jesus provides the clearest picture of humility. This session explores Philippians 2:3–11 and Isaiah 52–53, showing how Christ’s lowliness, obedience, and suffering reshape leadership and service. A godly man learns not to protect pride, but to embrace the humble path through which God forms holy character and fruitful ministry.

The Godly Man: Stepping Down to Humility

Humbling oneself is not a vague feeling but a deliberate, crucial decision before God. This study gathers Scripture’s commands to humble ourselves and looks at Paul’s weakness in 2 Corinthians 12 and Moses’ prayer in Psalm 90 to show how God works through humbled servants. Bucknell presents humility as accepting ourselves before God so His holy change can take root.

The Godly Man: The Pure Heart

Building on Jesus’ promise in Matthew 5:8, Paul J. Bucknell shows that purity of heart is not merely outward morality but undivided devotion to God. This study traces the dangers of a hardened or fragmented heart, the inner competition that drains confidence and clarity, and the restoring grace that reunites the heart through repentance. The message calls believers to watch over the heart, turn from impurity, and seek the Spirit’s work for holy devotion.

The Godly Man: God’s Heart Examination

Paul J. Bucknell opens The Godly Man series with the first purity study, examining 1 Samuel 16:7–13 and God’s choice of David. Rather than judging by outward appearance, God searches the heart and seeks men whose loyalties are whole before Him. The lesson calls believers to bring their divided hearts to the Lord and ask Him for the pure, undivided heart promised in Jeremiah 24:7.
