The Kind of Dad Your Child Needs and Wants

1 Thessalonians 2:6-12; 1 John 4:18; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21
Today is Father's Day and we salute you fathers. Fathers don't get all the accolades that mothers do and we certainly don't get the gifts they do.

We worked day and night so that we would not burden any of you while we preached God's news to you. When ...
