Happy Father's Day

June 15, 2025 - Ephesians 6:1-4

The culture often portrays fathers as bumbling or disengaged, but Scripture calls us to something far greater. Our goal is not to control our children or force them into our mold, but to launch them as arrows toward God’s purposes, leaving them an example of authentic faith. The greatest legacy we can leave is not material wealth or worldly success, but a life rooted in God’s Word and a heart that treasures Christ above all.

God, our heavenly Father, models perfect love for us. Even in our failures and weaknesses, His love is unfailing and generous. He gives good gifts, knows our needs, and has given us the Holy Spirit as our helper. No matter our earthly experience with our own fathers, we are invited into the embrace of a Father who never fails. Today, let’s reflect on what we love most about our dads, express our gratitude, and commit ourselves anew to loving and leading our families well, pointing them to the heart of God.
