Part 6: Dear Old Dad
Series: Faith For All Seasons
Stuart Briscoe
Ephesians 6:1-4
Sociologists tell us that the weak link of the family is the "father child relationship." Scripture tells us that the father is in some way a reflection of our God Who chooses to be known as Father. Dear old Dad clearly has his work cut out!

A. Mother/child relationship is close, how to integrate Dad?
B. Dad must volunteer to be identified.
C. This volunteering is commitment to provide.
D. Lineage and inheritance are thus established.
E. Dad represents family to society and vice versa.
F. This produces "remoteness" which can be advantageous.
G. Sense of "awe" conducive to respect, direction and order.
H. Dad assists in necessary "weaning" process.
I. Domestic/occupational tensions can be extreme.
II. What Do the Scriptures Say About Dear Old Dad?
A. Dad and the kids.
