Fathers Day: Be a Father

Fathers Day: Be a Father | Pastor Mark Harrell | ​Play/Download

If Christian men could resolve the fathering problem, we could change America.
I Corinthians 4:14-17
Paul looked at people as family.
Fathering is not a space of time where you are present. Fathering is input into an individual’s life.
You have to be fathered in order to father others.
Hebrews 12: 5-8
Philippians 2: 19-23

LIFE IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.
Relationship is not for information - you need formation.
Four things that all “fathering” encompasses:
1) Protection
2) Correction
      King David did not do this. I Kings 1: 5-6
3) Direction
      I Corinthians 4:16
      Direction is exemplary living.
4) Affirmation
     Matthew 3:17
     Jesus received acceptance, affirmation and approval from His
     Father in the waters of baptism and He hadn’t done anything in ministry yet.
     I Corinthians 4:17
