Life on the West Side

It Takes A Father


Listen Later

Sometimes, it just takes a father. Compare the character traits of God in Psalm 103 with the story of the father in Luke 15. The last in our "Jesus at home" series.

The sermon today is titled "It Takes A Father." It is the last installment in our series "Jesus At Home: Parenting In His Presence." The Scripture reading is from Psalm 103 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Families & Relationships.

Sources of Inspiration for the Lesson Used in Today's Podcast:

  • Vince Miller, “It Takes A Father,” Sermon (2022).
  • Timothy Keller, The Prodigal God.
  • Timothy Keller, "God Our Father," Sermon (2011).
  • The concluding story is based on the wonderful poem by May Patterson, "So God Made A Father." The first half is mostly my own; the second half is largely quoting Patterson's poem.
