And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Because of their powerful influence they are satan’s #2 target, the #1 is the woman. Before He can get to the woman and children, he has to get through the man. God told Adam to guard the garden.
Noah’s character kept him from compromising while all around him were. His influence kept his family away from the evils of the world.
Fathers Set A Pattern For Their Children
Ex: Many times I have been able to handle very difficult complicated issues in ministry because I had spiritual fathers who role-modelled how to handle things.
Our relationship with our father sets a pattern for how we see God the Father.
We set a pattern for our children to follow. Our example is so important.
Eph. 5:1
1 Cor. 4:16
1 Cor. 11:1
Jesus Selflessly Cared For His Family
He went to the cross for us.
As He was hanging there, one of his last statements was about the care of his mother.
Jesus said that He only did what He saw His Father do. THE FATHER SET A PATTERN FOR THE SON AND HE FOLLOWED IT. Hebrews 1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Fathers Love Their Family
They show their sons how to treat their wives and respect women.
They show their daughters how a man should treat a woman.
The husband has the greater responsibility for the spiritual temperature of the family.
A Dad is a sons first hero and a daughters first love.
Daughter said her dads model set the paftern she used to judge every other man in her life.
Son said his dad showed him what he could do and inspired him to do it.
A father teaches his children - Prov. 3:1-2
My son, forget not my law;
But let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life,
And peace, shall they add to thee.
His time with his children is priority Luke 11:7
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Fathers Whose Families Enter The Promised Land and Are Saved Follow These Patterns
JOSHUA who said, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
PHILIPPIAN JAILER was told, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, you and your house.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Children
Your dad isn’t meant to be perfect just point to the perfect one. Eph. 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Many have been victims of satan’s devices. Forgive them.
Wives
Submit to your husbands so they can lead.
God didn’t call them to be perfect but trust God enough to use them.
As awesome as our earthly fathers with us today are, we have a heavenly father that loves us even more.
Coming and goings
Prosper what they put their hands to
Wisdom, ingenuity, and creativity
