Great Examples of Men In The Bible (Fathers Day)

Believe Like Noah

Noah was just living his best life

family

friends

faith

Then God asked him to do something that was so different and strange

build a boat not on the water, not a fishing boat but a huge boat

Insted of wondering, insted of trying to justifying it to himself. The Bible says this

Genesis 6:9–22 (ESV)

22 Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

God has called us to believe.

It is not always Easy.

We struggle with believe. So how can we fix it

Mark write about a conversation between Jesus and a man who sought healing for his daughter that tells us how to deal with this struggle.

Mark 9:23–24 (ESV): 23 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “ I believe; help my unbelief!

Dream like Joseph

Joseph in my opion is one of the greatest God stories in the Old Testament.

We have a story of a boy who’s brothers hated him

sold him in to slavery

became a manager of people

wanted by another mans wife and refused then sent to prison for it (kinda)

Sat in prison

help other inmates

was brought out of prison

became the 2nd in command of all of Egypt

saved his family and horned by his brother and father.

This Whole Story started with one event.

Genesis 37:5–11 (ESV)

9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”

Joseph had dreams that he was meant for more

He then followed the path that Life give him (good and bad) and kept looking to his dream.

Dreams Take Work,

Ecclesiastes 5:3 (ESV): 3 For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s voice with many words.

It’s time to dream again,

It’s time to dream and work to it

Its time to go beyoned words and take actions to reach the dreams you have for you and your family

What Dreams do you have ?

Write them down

make a plan

give a time

and keep pressing to it even when you life takes you other places

Leave a Legacy Like David

What David could be know fore

A Runt Shepered

anointed King

Giant killer and defender of God

Refugee from country and family

King

Messup and redemption

What is His real legacy ?

Acts 13:21–23 (ESV)

21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ 23 Of this man’s offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

all the great things that David left behind, Him being a man after Gods own heart is the legacy that we hear the most about.

What Legacty are we leaving for our family

Proverbs 13:22 (ESV): 22  A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.

We think of an inheritance is

money

house

cars

gifts

A True Inheritance is so much more

Being a great Example

living out and passing down your faith

Setting your family up to live eternally in heaven.

Learn Like Solomon

1 Kings 3:3–15 (ESV)

5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” 6 And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. 7 And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. 9 Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”

God was so pleased with the answer that Solomon gave that He gave to Solomon all he offered.

Because Solomon sought wisdom, he gained so much more

This could be us, If we choose to continue to seek out and learn

Proverbs 1:5 (ESV): 5  Let the wise hear and increase in learning,

and the one who understands obtain guidance,

Let us be different

so many no longer read

so many no long impove them self

Let us look for ways to impove our selfs so that our children will learn to always improve themself

IF we continuse to lear God will bless us with so much more then just knowledge.

Just as With All Of Them, Walk With God

Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (ESV)

1 “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

The greatest gift we can give our family is not the work of our hands or the sweat of our brow it is the surrender of our live to Gdo

It is us living out our faith Every day

start today

live it out and live it loud

Sitastise say that the family is 93% more likely to follow Christ is the Husband (father) gets saved first. This is Biblical

Acts 16:31 (ESV): 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Today What life do you want for your kids ? For you family. Think more then just the next 5 years but the next 500. Will you and your family be in heaven, It may start with you.

Not just father but today salvation, blessing, forgivness is all at your hands, ready for you to accept, will you do that today ?
