Father
Text: Acts 13:32-33
and II Cor. 6:18
Introduction:
Today the world celebrate a Father’s
Day, a day in which we honored our
fathers.
- According to our text this Afternoon,
God has an idea of what a Father is
suppose to be.
• The question is does our society know? And
do we as a church know?
• In the world census approx. 20 million
children have been abandoned by there
father.
• Why they abandoned?
• Because many Fathers today is a
• Lack of spiritual
• Lack of financial
• Lack of emotional support.
• They are not there to love them and take care of
them, because they are too busy living for the
moment.
• And it’s affecting our society. Kids need there
father and father’s need to show there kids they
are loved and wanted.
• What does it mean to be a blessed Father? And
how can we live under the full blessing of God as
a Father?
• How does God define the word FATHER?
• This is what we are going to look at this afternoon
to help us live to our fullest potential as Dads
I. Godly Fathers Lead By Example
John 4:19-20
- Godly says, not

say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
- A Father who desires to make an impact on both their
children and their friends are considered role models.
- As Fathers this afternoon, we don’t always have to say
something, but we always have to live out our convictions.
- I believe it’s important that not only our kids see us
worship, but there friends also see us worship. - And what I
mean by worship is prayer, singing, church attendance, Bible
reading and Godly living. Choosing to do what is right, and
standing up for what we believe in.
• We need to show our kids, our spouse and
there friends that we love the Lord and why
it’s important to serve Him.
• Godly fathers are blessed because they lead
there home and lives by example.
• There is always someone watching your life.
Know where you are going and decide in your
heart that you want to serve the Lord and lead
by example.
II. Godly Father’s Lead The Family
Josh 24:14-15 says, “Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in
sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers
served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the
LORD. [15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you
this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers
served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we
will serve the LORD.”
• Each believer must continually choose whom he
or she will serve.
• We can say as fathers that we want to raise our
children in the fear of the Lord, but with that
statement comes fruit.
• A. Some examples of fruit is this: We won’t send
our kids to Sunday School, we will bring them.
• B. We will teach our kids to pray, and not leave it
up to the church to do it.
• C. There will be an inner desire to see my kids at
the altar receiving from God.
• I pray my kids go under the power of God at an
early age and receive from God all that God has
for them.
• But in order to see those things happen in my
family I have to lead them to those things.
• I have to go to the altar, I must give to the Lord
in tithes and offerings, and I must desire to
pray so that my kids will see that God is
important to me.
• God is looking to you and me as the Priest of
our home, to lead the home into the things of
God.
III. Godly Fathers Love There Wives
EphGod
5:25 has
says, established
“Husbands, lovethe
yourfamily as the
wives, even basic
as Christ alsounit
loved
thein society.
church, and gave himself for it;”
Every family must have a leader.

Therefore the husband has been assigned the
responsibility of being the head of the wife and
family.
• Now the husband’s headship must be
exercised in love, gentleness and
consideration for his wife and family.
• Our kids need to see that dad is devoted,
committed and loves his wife
