Today we celebrate our fathers and stepfathers. Scripture is full of stories about fathers - the good, the bad, and everything in between as they lead, love, fail, and follow to become vessels of God's purpose in our world. Have fun testing your Bible knowledge with our engaging new father-themed bible quiz. Note that one question is subjective as we ponder the integrity of a father who promised to sacrifice his own daughter to God. Some answers in the quiz might come as a surprise, so we hope your congregation will not only have a little fun but learn a few facts as they await the start of your service.
