Fatherhood - The Father’s Heart (notes)

Fatherhood - The Father’s Heart

Fathers have one of the most important roles in society.

One of my greatest experiences in life has been to be a dad.

Dad what is your greatest joy?

Fathers impact future generations by their example, prayers, and love.

Fathers fill a great gap in our hearts but the greatest need a father fills is a spiritual one.

If you did have the honor of knowing your father you are blessed.

There are people here today who did not have the blessing of knowing their biological father.

Stats by Dr. Ken Canfield Ph.D National Center For Fathering. ((presented in sermon)).

Psalm 27

Though my father & mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Teach me your way, O Lord.

Jesus Knows The importance of having a Father but He also knows the pain and void in our lives if we did not know our father.

The Benefits of Knowing Our Heavenly Father:

  1. God receives us – Acceptance.
  2. God teaches us – Instruction.
  3. He will lead us – Guidance.
  4. He will not turn us over to our foes – Protection.
  5. He will show us His goodness – Provision.
  6. Wait on the Lord – Security.

Whatever Your Lot

  • You have a heavenly Father who loves you more than any biological father could ever love you.
  • God has always watched over you and He always will.
  • Put your complete trust in Him and you will see what I mean.
