Pastor Anthony King delivers an urgent message from the Strong Men's Retreat 2025, declaring that God created men to serve. Through direct, expositional preaching from Joshua 24:15 and Mark 10:43-45, Pastor King challenges men to abandon passivity, break free from the "gods of their fathers" and personal sin (like video game addiction or pornography triggered by boredom), and find their true purpose as a bond slave (**dulos**) of Jesus Christ. This message is a powerful call to action, demanding a life characterized by sincere service, not limited by excuses or conditions, but fueled by obedient faith.
