Introduction

A. This morning we have the delight of dedicating Harrison and Wade Farnham to the Lord.

At the same time the presenting of a child in dedication is a serious matter.

Harrison has been already been dedicated to the Lord, but these 2 are kind of inseparable!

B. As we dedicate these 2 handsome young men to God, we will ALL be accepting responsibilities, but we will also recognize the responsibility which God has promised to take upon Himself toward each life which is put into His care.

C. As this mother and father bring Harrison and Wade before this church this morning, I believe I hear them saying 3 things:

1.

First, that they want God’s will to be done in and God’s blessings on Harrison and Wade.

2. Second, that they want witnesses to their resolve to raise Harrison and Wade in a Christian home according to God’s will.

3. Finally, they are saying that they need our help.

D. Prayer
