We greet you today in the name of our Heavenly Father. It is because of His great love for us that we are here. It is FATHER’S DAY and we welcome all of you to this service in which we will honor fathers. Our heavenly father is the foundation of all life. It is in Him we live and move and have our being. Any other foundation is unstable and is sure to crumble!
In the same way, fathers are the foundation of the home, the community and the nation. The heavenly father made them male (Adam) first then took the woman out of him. Adam was made with the potential to fulfill his God-given role; but in order to do so he had to cooperate with God and His Word. When Adam failed to do so, the foundation of the home experienced a serious crack which destabilized the first family and opened the door to envy, Jealousy and murder. The problems in our society have their root in our homes, and the problems in our homes have their root in the foundation of the home – the father! Men need to be the fathers God created them to be.
Our churches today are predominantly women; this is a reflection of men being out of place and the foundation being moved. The Bible says in Ps. 11: 3, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Even the church is powerless to correct the ills in society until the foundation that God has laid down for the family begins to function as God ordained it. Fathers need to return to God the Father and position themselves to be proper role models for their children and especially their sons. Dr. Myles Monroe in his book, The Principles of Fatherhood said, “Without fathers, the marriage, the family, the community, and the nation lay in shambles. A nation can be sustained, nurtured, and protected only when men are fathers like the Father.”
We thank God for those fathers who are standing firm in their homes, thus helping to eliminate the problems of drugs, teenage pregnancy, crime and loss of lives through violence. May God help and bless all fathers today and may you draw close to your Heavenly Father!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it… Dad
For these things and so many more we praise God
for our Fathers, this Father’s Day and always.
