Sunday morning service at Indianapolis First Church of the Nazarene, Father's Day, June 16, 1985. This message about "The Ideal Father" draws on the relationship between God the Father and Jesus His Son. There are five elements, or principals to being a good father: establishing a value system (Luke 2:7); establishing goals in life (Luke 2:52); praise for his children (Matt. 3:17, 17:5); time (Mark 1:35), and imparting responsibility (John 17).
