Sunday
Sermon
The
Godly Father
Speaker: Pastor Don Villariez
Scriptural Reference: Deuteronomy 6:4-9
‘The
“Godly” Father’ (also applicable
to anyone [believers]) Deuteronomy 6:4-9
[Deuteronomy
6:3
So give ear, O Israel (church), and take care to
do this; so that it may be well for you, and you
may be greatly increased, As the Lord the God of
your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing
with milk and honey.]
God
wants us to “understand and obey His greatest
commandment”
He
spoke to the fathers (Gen 22:17 and Exodus 3:8)
How
can we “become” a Godly father?
(What are the characteristics of a Godly Father?)
a.
He knows God accordingly (biblical and personal)
Verse 4
b.
He relates to God properly.. Verse 5
c.
He understand himself sincerely.. Verse 6
d.
He relates to his family biblically.. Verse 7-9
If
we allow God to make us “Godly”, we
should have the blessings of the Godly father (followers):
• He’s a wise person, v.2, 3a
• He has good (‘long’) life, v.3b,
Deut. 5:33(John 10)
• He prospers greatly, v.3c (Deut. 7:12..)
Conclusion:
Let US pray for JESUS to give us more GODLY fathers
(or followers/Christians)!
“Jesus, The Rock, Cares”
GOD BLESS US ALL!
