Fathers
The Father Absence Crisis in America
Fatherless Stats
There are multiple factors that lead to these outcomes.
Our topic today addresses one of them.
When we see problems in the world we can be assured that God has a solution.
We can turn to his word and choose to do things his way.
Today we turn to the men of the church.
One of the core issues in dealing with the fatherlessness in our culture is that the character of man is corrupt.
Men of the church are to be different.
We are to be a solution not a contributing factor.
But how do we accomplish this as a community of believers?
Let’s open our Bibles to Titus chapter 2. We will be reading verses 2-6 and we will be focused this week on verse 2&6 and we will look more intently at verses 3-5 next week as they deal with the Women of the Chruch.
The goal of the book of Titus:
Moving the church towards godliness and good works.
Last week we talked about Titus 2:11-14
These verses gave us four steps in God’s work on his church
God fixes our mess
God changes our lives
God fills us with hope
God refits us for good works
Older Men Refit by God for Good Works
Sober-minded
Temperate
Not given to the overindulgence or extremes of the world.
Dignified
Worthy of Respect
godly character
Self-Controlled
Sound in Faith, in Love, in steadfastness
Something that is sound is unshakable.
These men are resolute in the faith.
They are consistent in their love.
They are committed to Christ and his Kingdom in all things.
These are the kind of men that God is shaping in this church.
As older men, you are called to make disciples.
You are called mentor the younger men of the church.
Paul is writing as an older man to a younger man Timothy.
This model of living out our faith and pouring it into others is what keeps one generation from flourishing only to watch the next fall apart.
This is the picture of the relationship that older men have to younger men in the church.
The younger ought to respect the older.
The older men ought to act as godly fathers to the younger men and set an example.
Let’s turn our attention to the younger men.
Younger Men Refit by God for Good Works
Don’t hang with the wrong crowd
Love your Neighbor
Do not chase after lust
The Proverbs are full of these examples.
How does our Church live this out?
Be in relationship with each other.
Gather together for prayer on Saturday.
Do work together.
Worship together.
I want to commend and encourage our men.
Yesterday our prayer time was a beautiful picture of these things.
