Fathers’ Day
In the day, society would rebuke a child dishonoring his father or mother.
Proverbs 20:20
A lot of terms describe different fathers. What does God want fathers to look like?
Ephesians 5:22-33
Spiritual, active love, sacrificial, giving, wanting wife to be right, role model
Ephesians 6:1-4
God promised good to those who honor their parents and shortened life to those who don’t.
Honor included time, respect, money, etc.
Fathers have responsibility to not produce wrath in their children.
Fathers are responsible for nurturing, training their children in the Lord.
