Once again, the Man of Steel is coming to the theaters this summer. In fact, we’re going to be talking about that movie during our upcoming God on Film series. But just how similar are Supes and the Men of Steel at The Connection Church?
They both listen to their Father’s voice. Superman regularly goes to his Fortress of Solitude where his Kryptonian dad gives him direction for his life. As Men of Steel, we regularly spend time alone with God and listen to His voice for guidance.
They both have supernatural strength. Superman is “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” All powers given to him by the sun. Our Men of Steel’s true power and strength comes from the Son of God who gives us “the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe Him.” (Eph. 1:19)
They both desire to live an excellent lifestyle. Superman has traditionally been pictures as someone who sees the best in people and lives an upright life. We also want to strive for excellence in everything we do, offering grace and being an example for others to follow.
They both have a great life mission. Superman has a defined purpose of protecting and saving the Earth. That’s the mission of Men of Steel: to be salt and light in our world and lead others to know God through a personal relationship with Jesus.
The Men of STEEL are meeting this Saturday morning, June 15, at 9am to eat some good grub, sharpen each other, grow closer to God, and do other manly things. All men are invited to join us.
