A Father's Love [Father's Day Message]
Main Idea: The Needed Love of Fathers.
Fathers are foundational pieces to every person’s life. Even for those who have never met their father, that role still shapes the very core of their identity and becomes a major motivator for the decisions that they make in life. Inwardly, most men feel deep within their gut the weight of responsibility they have as a dad.
The pressure often translates to men attempting to give the best of themselves to their children. Sometimes it’s being the fun, other times it’s being the guide, and sometimes it’s being the provider. Many dads get in their heads about what they can offer their kids. So much so, that some get to the point where they think that their kids would be better off without them.
Today, we are going to unpack the relationship between father and child and how that can affect their lives. Then we’re going to talk about what we as men can offer children as fathers, as well as how we can look to God as the ultimate role model as a Father.

1. Needed But Helpless [DADS CAN NOT FORCE THEIR KIDS TO DO ANYTHING]
(Luke 15:11-16)
So many times, we as fathers think that everything is riding on us in order for our children to come out okay, but you must realize that even though you are incredibly needed, your kids are still going to make their own decisions. We can do our best in guiding them and setting the example, but their lives are their own to live.
2. Present And Available[THE MOST DESIRED FATHER IS A PRESENT ONE]
(Matthew 27:45-46)
There are so many things dads can do to be either better or worse. One dad is too soft on their kids while another is too hard on them. One dad spoils and another gives nothing. The list can go on and on about how to be a better dad, But I believe that one absolute that supersedes anything else that you could possibly do as a dad is to simply
3. Redemptive And Compassionate [KIDS WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER DAD]
(Luke 15:17-24)
Sometimes dads make mistakes and sometimes kids make mistakes. It’s easy to allow these mistakes to cause resentment and confusion within the relationship. Years of missed opportunities and meaningful moments. We have to remember that nobody is perfect, but love covers a multitude of sins.
