    Father’s Day reminds us of parental responsibilities and blessing, as we show our love and acceptance to children in: Our Words, Giving our Time, Sharing Caring Love, and Modelling ourselves on Jesus and our Heavenly Father.

    FATHER’S DAY - RESPONSIBILITIES AND BLESSING Father’s Day started in America, strangely enough by a lady! In 1909, one hundred years ago this lady, by name of Sonora Dodd, was sitting in church one Sunday, listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day.

    Who's life are we living?

    We so need to understand that we did not start our lives. If you think you are living than you are truly fooling yourself. It all starts and ends with God. There really is no other way to explain it. Some people will most likely disagree with that but it is the truth. In whose hand [is] the ...read more

    God wants to raise you up, to educate you and train you in His wisdom. He use a home and earthly fathers and mothers as His schools and teachers. Those that graduate from God's School of Wisdom receive its watch-care and honor.

    PROVERBS 4: 1-9 THE INSTRUCTIONS OF A FATHER or Finding God's Direction [2 Timothy 3:14 / 1 Kings 3:5-14] We all need a relationship with our father. A little boy sat frustrated and near tears.

    Imperfect Fathers

    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

    I believe there are hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions in the church of America and around the world who are close to, in other words, “not far from the Kingdom of God.”

    “So Close and Yet So Far!” It was one of the best football games ever. Remember Super Bowl XXXIV between the Rams and Titans? In the final seconds Tennessee was driving for the game-tying touchdown and on the final play Kevin Dyson caught a pass over the middle and lunged ...read more

    The Prodigal Son. A sermon focusing on the Father.

    This morning I want us to look at a very familiar passage of Scripture in Luke 15.

    As, we come today to honor all fathers, like to say that there is a Father that shows us how to live on this earth.
