Identifying The Unbeliever

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jul 9, 2024

The Failed Father Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 17, 2023

When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more
