Offertory scripture:
Draw near to God, He will draw near to you.
Proverbs 3:9-10
Sermon message:
Thesis: Five golden nuggets
Happy Father’s Day
The greatest father of all time is Almighty God. Father of all creation. But he also wants to be your Father by relation. We can receive this by receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Three case studies: Noah, Abraham, and David.
Point #1: Position yourself to hear from God.
Shut off the noise. Get alone with God.
2 Peter 2:2-5
Set aside the time to be alone with God.
Psalm 46:10
We need Bible time in addition to quiet time. Read what Dad has written to you in His Word.
We need church time.
Hebrews 10:25
Point #2: Do what God asks you to do.
Noah: God asked him to make an ark.
Genesis 6:14
Abraham: father of many nations
Genesis 17:5
David: told to think of himself as a king
1 Samuel 16:13
Matthew 7:24-27
James 1:22
Point #3: Don’t give up!
Why we are often tempted to give up:
Disappointments, delays, distractions
Noah, Abraham, and David faced opposition, mocking, etc. Don’t give up in the face of these things.
Galatians 6:9
Point #4: Love your family and your friends by putting God first.
Noah out God first and saved his family’s lives.
Abraham was willing sacrifice Isaac to please God, and God’s response was to rescue Isaac instead.
Proverbs 22:6
Tell your kids that without God (and without your spouse) those kids wouldn’t be there. Tell your kids the truth.
Point #5: You will make mistakes.
Abraham presented his wife as his sister to the king. Abraham went into his wife’s handmaiden while waiting for God’s promise that they would have a child.
Romans 3:23
King David made mistakes. Confessed it. Psalm 51 is a prime example of it.
1 John 1:9
