Fathers
Regardless of how kids see them, fathers are not ‘All
Powerful,’ Superheroes. But they are all responsible.
As fathers today, we have a lot in
common with Noah in these stormy days we
live in.
We need to learn how to build an ark of
safety for our family.
Hebrews 11:7
Genesis 6:8-22
Noah’s Faith Saved Him
Noah’s Fear Moved Him
Noah’s Family Followed Him
How to be a spiritual hero to your
children:
1. Get Connected to God
2. Get Right
(Connecting your heart to His heart may
mean
disconnecting from some other
things)
Know that you can Literally and Legally
be a child of God.
Father to the fatherless, defender of
widows — this is God, God places the
lonely in families; He sets the
prisoners free and gives them joy.
Psalms 68:5-6
His unchanging plan has always been to
adopt us into His own family by bringing
us to Himself through Jesus Christ. And
this gave Him great pleasure.
Ephesians 1:5
But to all who believed Him and accepted
Him, He gave the right to become
children of God.
John 1:12-13
God has sent the Spirit of His Son into
your hearts, and now you can call God
your dear Father. Now you are no longer
a slave but God's own child. And since
you are His child, everything He has
belongs to you.
Galatians 4:6-7
And since we are His children, we will
share His treasures — for everything God
gives to His Son, Christ, is ours, too …
Romans 8:17
