The Kind of Dad Your Kid Needs (7 of 7)
Series: Blueprint for the Family
Jim Perdue
Psalm 78:1-72
Intro/Attention
Today we conclude our series, The Blueprint for the Family. I hope this series has been challenging, convicting, and encouraging. I know I have learned a lot about the family, about marriage, about parenting...and today, I'm going to learn even more about being a father. You know what kind of father I want to be? I want to be the kind of dad that my kids need. They need me to be faithful, loving, forgiving, uplifting. That's our message today: The Kind of Dad Your Kid Needs. READ 1-8
Today across America, we are honoring our Fathers. Since 1922, the third Sunday in June has been set aside to pay tribute to our Fathers.

In the verb form, the word ''father'' means ''the founder, to be the foundation, to author.'' You Fathers are the authors of your home! And God wants you to author a God-loving, God-fearing, God-honoring home! Men, listen this morning to the instructions that God has given us in Psalm 78.5-7 READ 5-7 Fathers, God has commanded us to teach our children and to point our children to Him and here's why: So that our children may have confidence in God and keep His commandments.

(ON SCREEEN) And the word translated ''instruction'' means to put something into the mind. Fathers, you are to be putting something into the minds of your children, namely, the Word of God! Psalm 119.11, ''Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.''*
