Faithful Father

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jun 19, 2021

Fathers are to invite your children to receive, to inspire your children to obey God, to influence your children to fear God, to instruct your children to reflect the way of God, and to invoke your children to remember God.

Faithful Fathers God said: "And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:.6). God finishes the Old Testament by talking about fathers and their families. Malachi ...read more

Fathers, Be Careful

Contributed by David Nolte on Jun 21, 2021

The responsibility of fatherhood demands that we be careful

There is a world of difference between being careful and being full of care. Being careful is being responsible, alert, prudent and watchful. It positively says, “Why worry when you can pray?” Being full of care is being anxious, fretful, worried, and restless in the mind and spirit. It ...read more

Fathers Day

Contributed by Anthony Stander on Jun 21, 2021

The message Paul gave to the Church in Corinthia is the same message he would give to the modern day Church, to the men of the Church- be watchful of demonic attacks, stand fast like Christians in a fallen world, behave like men at all times and be strong always.

FATHERSDAY 1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. The message Paul gave to the Church in Corinthia is the same message he would give to the modern day Church, to the men of the Church- be watchful of ...read more

Father Abraham Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 1, 2021

Why was Abraham called the Father of all who believe, and what can that mean to us?

There’s a children song I’d like you to sing with me this morning. It’s a fairly long drawn-out action song with quite a few body motions, so I’m only going to ask you to do a couple of the hand motions with me this morning. It’s called “Father Abraham” and it only has one verse. Sing it with ...read more

The First Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

It is true that we must trace the fall of man to Adam, and there is no way to minimize the harm he brought to the human race by his sin. But the fact remains that somebody has to have been an example of righteousness in that beginning generation, and the evidence points to Adam.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan had something in common in their childhood, and that was that they both had fallen fathers. When Ron came home one day as an 11 year old boy he found his father flat on his back on the front porch, and there was no one there to help. He said, "He was drunk, dead to ...read more

The Father Of The Future Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Here was a father who put God first in his life. He chose to be a miserable minority going against the grain. His boys probably did complain at times that it was very difficult to put up with the mockery. Noah had to do a lot of encouraging to keep them faithful.

It is tough to be a father in this world where everything is changing so fast. In Africa the custom of selling the bride to her future husband has been challenged for sometime by Christian daughters. They feel it is a evil custom to be sold like an object to the highest bidder. They have ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 7:1-12

A Supportive Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Jesus received praise and approval from His Father in heaven. This is a gift you cannot buy. John Drescher, one of the greatest authors of the 20th century, says that if he could go back and raise his children over he would be more free to express words of praise and appreciation.

Tal Bonham writes about how one night he slipped a poster under the doors of each of his two teenage sons. The poster said- Attention teenagers! If you are tired of being hassled by Unreasonable parents, Now is the time for action! Leave home and pay your own way While you still know ...read more

Father And Son

Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 21, 2020

God shared the pathos of His sacrifice of Jesus through having Abraham sacrifice Isaac. Two storytellers are needed: [#1] will tell the story of Abraham and Isaac, and [#2] will tell the story of God the Father and Jesus.

Introduction [#1] Genesis 22:1-2 This is a story of a Father, Son, and sacrifice. Usually we understand this chapter in terms of testing, faith, obedience, commitment, surrender, substitutionary sacrifice, The Lord Will Provide. It’s all in there. [#2] It also foreshadows another Father, ...read more

A Loving Father Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 8, 2021

Father's Day: The father should be the hero of this parable. He had been watching and waiting with love and patience. Like the father who was looking for his son to return, the Lord is waiting for us to come home to Him.

Luke chapter fifteen contains three parables. The third parable, which we are going to look at this morning, is sometimes called, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Commentator William Barclay says, “For centuries the third parable has been called ‘The Parable of the Prodigal Son.’ It would be ...read more

“Father God” Psalm 78 1-16 1. Father God and His children? • One comment I found says, “Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. Yes, a newborn child is a “bundle of joy.” But very soon, she’s a handful of aggravation. • Adam and Eve had issues with their two boys, Cain and Abel. ...read more

Father Of The Prodigal

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 16, 2019

Father of the Prodigal Luke 15:11-32 While Mother’s Day is one of the largest attendance days in churches, Father’s Day, unfortunately, is one of the least attended.

Imperfect Fathers

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 17, 2019

It's only fair that if I'm going to have a sermon on Mother's Day about imperfect mothers then I should also have a sermon on Father's Day about imperfect fathers. Remember the TV show, Father Knows Best? Guess what? Sometimes we don't know best.

IMPERFECT FATHERS The kids wanted a hamster really bad. They pleaded with their mom, making all kinds of promises to take care of it. Finally, mom agreed and got them a hamster. They named him “Danny.” But, within two months, Mom had the responsibility of Danny’s care. Despite her encouragement, ...read more
