First, a confession. “Good Good Father” is one of my favorites. “You’re a good good Father that’s who you are/And I’m love by You, that’s who I am, that’s who I am.”
All of us have different experiences with our dads. But what unites us is the need that’s woven into our souls-the need to be loved, and treasured, and noticed, and accepted by our fathers. No matter how much we try to defiantly deny it, we all need our father’s approval. It is the same with God. We want and need our Father’s approval, our Father’s blessing.
The Bible is filled with references to God as our Father. Deuteronomy 32:6. Psalm 103:13. Mark 14:36. Romans 8:15. Galatians 4:6 (the last three refer to calling Him “Abba”). This Sunday I’m going to expound further on this idea of God as our Father. Surprisingly, even though I thought this would be an “easy” sermon to prepare, it has actually been the most difficult one of this series. God is our Perfect Father.
Please join us in person or via live stream at 9:00 and 10:45. I would be honored if you would do so and thank you for your presence.
BIG DAY COMING MONDAY, OCTOBER 9TH!!
I absolutely love that song and it’s message, Bill. I know your message to your flock will be one that resonates with them. I will give it a listen!
Blessings!
I’m with you on the song Martha. I am praying God uses it to heal and to encourage.
Praying God prepares the hearts and minds of those that have the opportunity to hear the message and that it would be impactful!
Much thanks Ryan.
Hey Bill, just an FYI, on right now media, Louie Giglio has a series called Seeing God as the Perfect Father, it is a really good series.
Looking forward to your sermon on sunday.
I have used his book heavily in this sermon Gail. But I tried not to plagiarize! 🙂
I don’t think there is a Chris Tomlin song that I don’t love! He is certainly one of the great songwriters of our day. I trust God will continue to bless your sermons, Pastor Bill!
I’m with you Cheryl on his songs. I am praying He did bless that morning and it was honoring to Him.
