Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Psalm 128
Perhaps the most difficult and profoundly rewarding role a man could ever commit to is being a good Dad. The faith of our fathers is what leads our families through the minefield of today’s world.
Psalm 128 describes a faithful father in four ways.
First, it is his character.
If you fear God, you will walk in the way of God. Though we will inevitably make mistakes, we can be fathers who leave a legacy of integrity.
“When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.” (Psalm 128:2).
Second, a godly father loves his companion—his faithful, fruitful wife.
“Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house…” (Psalm 128:3a).
If the wife is the vine, you, as a wise father, understand it is your job to take care of your wife’s love and needs, so she may meet the needs of your children and your household.
Third, a godly father leads his children.
“...your children like olive plants all around your table” (Psalm 128:3b).
In the Bible, olives symbolize fruitfulness and righteousness. This verse is a beautiful picture of how a godly father’s righteousness is reproduced through his children.
A good father learns consistency in discipline and cultivates his children through quality time.
Finally, a godly father leaves a legacy.
“The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children” (Psalm 128:5-6).
A generation raised by strong, God-fearing fathers makes a strong nation. America will not be changed until our families are changed; and our families will not be changed until the fathers are changed.
Adrian Rogers says, “You can’t do anything about your ancestors, but you can do something about your descendants.”
As fathers, we have an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of our children, and our children’s children; let us not waste it.
Apply it to your life
Are you leading your family with character—do you love your wife and lead your children on the paths of righteousness? Consider the legacy you are leaving behind.
Sometimes the best parts of a story are the ones you never saw coming. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans talks about the “Mystery of the Church” and reveals how this divine mystery has become our everyday mission.
None of us welcome the challenges and hardships life brings. But when we begin to grasp God's greater purpose behind them, those difficult moments start to take on new meaning. On the next Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy kicks off a brand-new series in the book of James.
Enoch relationship can be summed up with Yeshua's words "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth" John 16:13 Join Rabbi, as he encourages us as believers to lean on God's Holy Spirit for relationship like Enoch.
