Fathers

Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV)

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

FATHER’S DAY

Father’s Day comes after Mother’s Day. That’s so the bills for Mother’s Day will arrive just in time for Father’s Day.

A small boy’s definition: “Father’s Day is just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.”[1]

Children of fathers who feel good about themselves and have high self-esteem grow up with more confidence and a higher opinion of themselves.

A recent study of 105 mothers, fathers, and their children over fourteen years old found that a dad’s self-esteem is more critical than a mom’s in the way children feel about themselves.[2]

Four years: My Daddy can do anything!

7 years: My Dad knows a lot … a whole lot.

8 years: My Father does not know quite everything.

12 years: Oh, well, naturally Father does not know that either.

14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.

21 years: Oh, that man—he is out of date!

25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.

30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.

35 years: Before we decide, we’ll get Dad’s idea first.

50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?

60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!

65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.[3]

I want to look at two diffents Fathers

First lets look at the Godly Father

Then we will look at the Garbage Father

The Godly Father is seen in the frist part of the text he is

1.The Submitted Man 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

2. The Smart Man 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

3.The Soild Man 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Now lets look at the Garbage Father he is

4.The Stubborn Man 26 And every one that hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

5.The Senseless Man

26 And every one that hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Greek for Foolish is Stupid

6.The Soft Man 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
