The Church of Eleven22

What if the greatest announcement in human history wasn’t given to kings, scholars, or warriors—but to ordinary men working the night shift? In Luke 2:8–20, the first people to hear about the birth of Jesus weren’t the powerful or prestigious—they were shepherds keeping watch in the dark. In this message, we look at how God used these unnoticed, rugged men to teach us what real strength looks like: staying alert, recognizing our desperate need for a Savior, obeying quickly when God speaks, and returning changed because of an encounter with Jesus. The shepherds didn’t just hear the good news—they moved with haste, shared what they had seen, and worshiped with transformed hearts. Their story reminds us that real men don’t wait for perfect circumstances… they respond in obedience and lead with courage. How is God calling you to respond this Christmas? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Luke 2:8-20 • Preacher: Pastor One Mokgatle 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Mr. “Did We Get My Mom Anything?” Guy • Shepherds - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 2 (Full Service) • Shepherds & Good News of Great Joy - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S25E2 • Real Men of Christmas Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What do you do when God’s plan interrupts everything you thought your life would be? Joseph never asked to be at the center of the greatest story ever told—but when God spoke, he listened. In this powerful message, we see how quiet obedience, godly character, and fearless faith positioned Joseph to play a critical role in God’s redemptive plan. Through the miracle of Jesus’ birth, we’re reminded that Christmas isn’t about fame, comfort, or applause—it’s about faithful surrender to a Savior who came to be God with us. If Joseph trusted God with everything… what is God asking you to trust Him with today? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 1:18-25 • Preacher: Pastor Ryan Britt 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Mr. Secret Christmas Movie Lover • Joseph - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 1 (Full Service) • Joseph and the Courage to Obey - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S25E1 • Real Men of Christmas Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if the most life-changing word Jesus ever spoke isn’t one we pray, but one we’ve forgotten how to say? When Jesus called God Abba, He wasn’t just using another name—He was revealing the very heart of God. In Week 7 of Stand Firm & Act Like Men, we look at how Jesus’ relationship with the Father shapes our own identity as sons and our calling as dads. What would change in your life if you truly knew God as Abba? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Romans 8:14-15, John 12:49-50 • Preacher: Pastor Charles Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • The Manliest Thing a Dad Can Do - Bill's Story • Be a Godly Dad - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 7 (Full Service) • Knowing God as Father- Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E7 • Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if the love you feel and the love God commands aren’t the same thing? Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s the defining mark of spiritual maturity and the foundation of how men are called to lead. In Week 6 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby teaches through 1 Corinthians 13 in its true context: unity, leadership, and the daily life of the Church. Even the greatest gifts, achievements, strengths, or sacrifices mean nothing without love. Biblical love is patient, kind, humble, forgiving, enduring, and self-sacrificing—a far cry from the self-focused “love” most of us default to. Pastor Joby challenges men to look honestly in the mirror, put away childish ways, and leverage their strength not for self-protection or self-gratification but for the good of others. Because love never quits, and we can only love as God commands when we receive the love He first showed us through Jesus. 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 • Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • The Impact of One Man’s Yes - Josh's Story • Love Is... - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 6 (Full Service) • When Love Looks Like Sacrifice - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E6 • Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if being a godly husband isn’t about how you feel about your wife, but how you love her — even when it costs you everything? In Week 5 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, we look at Ephesians 5 and what it truly means to be a godly husband. Biblical love isn’t based on feelings — it’s sacrificial, intentional, and action-driven, modeled after Christ and His love for the church. Whether you’re married or preparing for marriage, this message calls men to lead with humility, pursue with purpose, and love like Jesus. Are you willing to love first, love fully, and love sacrificially? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Ephesians 5:25-27 • Preacher: Pastor Matt Carter 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • A Love That Stands Firm - Wade's Story • Be A Godly Husband - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 5 (Full Sermon) • The Call of a Godly Husband - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E5 • Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if strength isn’t what you think it is? In Week 4 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin shows how Jesus redefines what it means to be strong. Strength isn’t measured by status, control, or success—it’s revealed in surrender. A strong man is one who rests in Jesus, perseveres through pain, walks humbly under God’s authority, and uses his strength to serve others. When we stop striving for worldly greatness and start depending on Christ, we discover that real strength isn’t about power—it’s about purpose. When you are weak, He is strong. So what would it look like for you to become that kind of man? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Matthew 20:17-28 • Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Strength That Serves - Rick’s Story • Be Strong - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 4 (Full Sermon) • Strength Redefined - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E4 • Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

We are not called to sit on the sidelines—we are called to stand firm. Week 3 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men calls men to rise up and hold the line—not in their own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. The enemy’s mission is clear: to steal, kill, and destroy everything and everyone we love. But God has equipped us with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer—the full armor we need to fight for our families, our marriages, and the next generation. When you stand firm in your faith, you become the gatekeeper of your home and a warrior for God’s kingdom. Are you ready to fight for what matters most? 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Ephesians 6:10-20 Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: The Armor of God: A Father, a Fighter, a Faithful Man - Huck's Story Stand Firm - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 3 (Full Sermon) When Men Stand, Families Flourish - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin 224E3 Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What happens when the defender steps down from the wall? We are at war. Not against flesh and blood—but against an enemy who would love nothing more than to take men out of the fight. In this message, Pastor Joby calls men to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and act like men as commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14. From pride and worry to laziness, isolation, and lust—the enemy uses every tactic to destroy those called to protect and provide. But even when we fail, the gospel reminds us: failure is not final. God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes His sons for the battle ahead. If you’ve ever felt distracted, defeated, or distant from your calling, this message is a wake-up call to get back on the wall and fight for what matters most—your faith, your family, and your future. Are you watching out, or have you let your guard down? 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, 1 Peter 5:6-11 Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: From Divorce to Redemption - Dave's Story Be Watchful - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 2 (Full Service) Stand Firm Against the Enemy - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E2 Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
