Honoring Our Fathers

Ephesians 6:1-4

Men are often portrayed in comedy television shows as being insensitive, unfeeling, self-centered, sloppy, and totally out of touch with their wives and children. And while that is the case with many, there are still men around who are godly, sensitive, and unselfish! These men are worthy of honor and respect.

I. God would have men be spiritual leaders.

A. Joshua 24:14-15 – that’s leadership!

B. Example – David Robinson

II. God would have us be involved parents.

C. Bad example – King David

D. Little things mean a lot!

III. God would have men be devoted husbands.

E. I Peter 3:1-7

F. The best thing you can do for your children is to love their mother.

Regardless of how good or how bad your earthly father was, you have a perfect Heavenly Father who wants you in His family forever! If you’re not a Christian, allow God to adopt you into His family by obeying His Son, Jesus Christ!
