    In light of the recent tragedy in South Carolina, I gave this message on Father's Day.

    1 Peter 4:1-19 (Read) What kind of people offer forgiveness to those who murder their family members? What motivates people to even consider forgiveness towards their enemies? Who has the influential power to cause this kind of response? Do we have that kind of faith? Do you? This week 21 ...read more

    The parable of the Prodigal Son

    Simeon Ford, the proprietor of the Old Grand Union Hotel in New York, once said, “You don’t need to know anything about a hotel to run one,” he said. “You just open up and the customers tell you how to run it.” Isn’t that the truth.

    Everlasting Father. Of all the titles given to the Christ-child, this one, Everlasting Father, probably raises the most questions. It is really intriguing. After all, how can a child be a father? And how can a newborn be so old as to be called everlasting?

    The Vanishing Father

     | 489 views

    There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

    God is described as Father about 15 times in the Old Testament and over 250 times in the New Testament? Why?

    Studying God as Father is called patriology or paterology. God is described as Father about 15 times in the Old Testament and over 250 times in the New Testament? Why?
