The Ultimate Father (2 of 9)
by Scott Maze
Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some ‘‘dad jokes on Father’s Day,’’ right? When does a joke become a ‘‘dad joke’’? When it becomes apparent. What do you call a thousand rabbits walking backward? A receding hairline. My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. ‘‘That’s my stepladder,’’ he said. ‘‘I never knew my real ladder.’’ What did the daddy spider say to the baby spider? You spend too much time on the web. I’m done - no more...
When Fathers Go Wrong: A Father's Day Message
by Stan Coffey
The idea for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, William Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how...
A Happy Father's Day
by Jerry Vines
This is Father's Day. I remind all of the fathers that we take second place on this very special day. The biggest day is not Father's Day, but the biggest day is Mother's Day. You do understand that, don't you? If you don't understand that, there's an article in the newspaper today that will help you just a little bit. Seventy two percent of...
The Prodigal Father
by Roger Thomas
Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son is a classic story. It has been called the "pearl of the parables." Others say, it is the "gospel in the gospel." In story form, Jesus paints an unforgettable picture of love, redemption, and second chances. It is the story of a homecoming! Let's start with the father.
God the Father (2 of 5)
by Josh Malone
What kind of father is God? He's a perfect, all powerful , wise, good Father. As we gaze at the Triune God through the Scriptures today we look at God the Father. Remember ... there is ONE GOD. God eternally exists in THREE PERSONS.
Fathers
by Stuart Briscoe
Sociologists tell us that the ''father/child relationship'' is the weak link of the family. Whether or not this is true, Scripture has many helpful things to say about fathers, and when taken seriously, they lead to effective and blessed fatherhood
When Daddy Got Ahold of God: A Father's Day Sermon
by Mike Stone
Now this is the story of a man who had an encounter with Jesus. As a result, his faith was forever deepened, His future was forever changed, and his family was forever touched because one day this daddy went out and got ahold of God. But more importantly, this text isn’t ultimately about father of a little girl. It’s about the only begotten Son of the Father.
Fathers in Christ
by Charles H. Spurgeon
From this text I am to preach principally to the fathers, and as the church has not many fathers I may be supposed to have a slender audience; but yet this is hardly so, since I hope and trust that this area of the sermon's influence will include young men;
Faithful Fathers
by Larry Wynn
The Bible is truth spoken in Love. There is no place where this is more true than in the area of marriage and family issues. The Bible goes right to the point. A man's primary responsibility is provision for his family. There is no place where Biblical salvation is proved or disapproved more than in the home. On this Father's Day I want to take the acrostic for FATHER and use it to point out what the Bible says the characteristics of a dad are to be.
Surpass Dad
by Keith Krell
I have always wanted to be like my Dad. When I was growing up, I wanted to be 6"2' like my Dad. I wanted to be able to grow a heavy beard like my Dad. I wanted to be able to handle a gas powered weed eater like my Dad. I wanted to drive a Subaru like my Dad. I wanted to cook chicken and dumplings like my Dad. I wanted to be able to write like my Dad. Sadly, I haven't been able to realize any of these desires. But now that I am grown up (mostly), I have a new set of desires. I still want to be like my Dad; I just have different priorities. Now, I want to love my wife for forty-five years like my Dad.
Jesus, My Father's Day Example
by Steve Jones
''Promise Keepers'' is a men's ministry that was founded in 1990 by Bill McCartney, then the head football coach at the University of Colorado. In it's heyday Promise Keepers rallies filled stadiums with men to hear popular Christian speakers and sing manly Christian music. I attended one rally back in 1993. A strange and...
Joseph - An Exemplary Father (A Fathers' Day sermon)
by Palitha Jayasooriya
As the world prepares to celebrate Father's Day, I would like to speak today about a special father revealed in the pages of scripture. In this sermon, I would like to focus on the life of Joseph, the earthly father of our Lord Jesus Christ. As you are aware, we do not hear much about Joseph until the Christmas Season comes around. Even then, he normally remains a backstage figure overshadowed by the many events surrounding the Christmas story! But, Joseph was certainly no ordinary father. In fact, the huge responsibility of bringing up Jesus was thrust upon the shoulders of this unassuming man. As we...
The Loving Father (Father's Day)
by Tony Thomas
Father's Day isn't nearly as big as Mother's Day. The florist isn't overworked, card sales aren't nearly as profitable, restaurants will be half-filled, and church attendance pales in comparison. On Mother's Day pastors all across America praise Mom for her sacrifices, and everybody weeps. But on Father's Day we talk about absentee father's, deadbeat dad's statistics are recited, and we lay on the guilt for not being there for the kids. If you look up the word ''father'' in the dictionary it occurs just before the word ''fatigue,'' and just after the word, ''fathead!'' Billy Crystal was in NY when his daughter Lindsay...
Do You Know Who Your Father Is?
by James Merritt
You see, physically everyone has only one father, and can only have one father. But spiritually, you have one of two fathers. Jesus said on one occasion to the Pharisees, ''You are of your father the devil.'' (John 8:44a) The vast majority of people in this world today are, at this moment, children of the devil. But there are those who have become the children of God.
A Day For Happy Fathers
by Nelson Price
Father's Day like Mother's Day is an emotional day affording various reactions. Many of us had good dads who embodied traits pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Others have had the heartbreak of having an ungodly dad. Often this ungodliness has been blatant and obviously out of character with the ideal of our Heavenly Father.
Father’s Day: The Gift of the Father (5 of 5)
by Benny Perez
We continue our Series on the Holy Spirit. We know a lot about Jesus, God the Father who Jesus spoke of and showed Him to us but most people do not know much about the Holy Spirit. Sometimes He is referred to as an it or force rather than a Third Person of the Godhead. Holy Spirit Is A Gift Of The Father.
The Faithfulness of a Father - Father's Day
by Donald Cantrell
The bible depicts God as the faithful father of man, of Israel, and of the church. He was there at the fall off Adam and Eve, instead of dismissing and destroying mankind, God clothed them and offered them a second chance. We find David committing adultery and killing the husband of Bathsheba, yet God forgave him and called him a man after his own heart.
The Father's Joy
by Jesse Hendley
You know where this thought is found, of course. It is in the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke. It is commonly called "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." But after careful study of this parable, we come to see that the prodigal son is not the principal character, nor is he the chief thought. The chief thought of this story is THE FATHER'S JOY.
A Father's Blessing
by Brian Fletcher
Intro: Father's Day can be joyful and difficult all at the same time. Some of us have amazing fathers, who have cared for us really well. Others do not have fathers or have experienced a strained relationship with their fathers. I would have said when I was young that I had a really good dad. He came to my games, he took me fishing, he taught me the value of work. However, now as an adult, I look back and see tremendous dysfunction. My dad was an alcoholic, he did not take care of my mom the way he should have, and he took advantage of my brother at different times, he brought our family to the brink of financial...
The Presence of the Father
by Lenny Ports
It is Father's Day and today we want to send a special thanks to all you Dads out there. We honor you and thank you for all you do. It's not easy being a dad but it's worth it. I've been in the occupation of father for 33 years now. A father is not just a name. It carries with it a great responsibility. We include in this definition of fathers: stepdads, adopted dads, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, dads-to-be and spiritual dads because there are little ones that are looking up to you...
