Defining Fatherhood

June 17, 2018 • 5:00 pm

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Father's Day

Many would define fatherhood in terms of making a living, providing for the needs of the family, etc., all of which are in the material realm. Additionally, fatherhood can be defined in these terms: showing your children and grandchildren what God's character is like, how He operates, and what He expects--all of which spring from the spiritual realm!

Psalm 78 gives us good insight into defining fatherhood.

God - The Father

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Father's Day

Synopsis: Regardless of what kind of earthly father we have had or currently have, it’s good for us to go to the Scriptures and see what God has revealed about Himself as “The Father.” He is the only perfect role model for us to follow and He is the ideal Father to possess as our own! From our text today in Matthew 6, which is commonly referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer” but in reality, more accurately called “the Disciples’ Prayer,” I want us to see four qualities of God’s fatherhood that are designed to bring comfort and encouragement to us – especially in these uncertain days in which we are living.
