In the Epistle:

A FATHER’S HEART

Sunday is Father’s Day we will be looking at two texts that I believe still speak powerfully to godly fathers: Malachi 4:6 and the turning of the father’s heart to his children; and Ephesians 6:4 which calls fathers to nurture and discipline their children in ways that do not provoke them to anger. In the meantime, fathers often spend their workdays in environments that reward competitiveness and aggressiveness, where their ability to provide for their family seems to demand a certain hard-heartedness and insensitivity. Simply put, like many other roles (including that of mother), the role of father, especially Christian father, is very difficult in our world.

Sunday’s sermon speaks especially to fathers, but the rest of you should feel free to listen in. And, please, be sure the Dad you love is in worship on Sunday.
