Father's Day 2008

Being a father is a very difficult.
Samuel was a great man of God, but Samuel failed as a father. First Samuel 8:3 says, Samuel's “sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.”
King David was a man after God's own heart (I Samuel 13:14). David was a great king but a poor father.
King Jehoshaphat was king of Judah. But Jehoshaphat allied himself with Ahab, the wicked king of Israel. This proved disastrous for Jehoshaphat and his oldest son, Jehoram.

1 John 2:14-15; Proverbs 13:24; Ephesians 6:4.

BE A GOOD PROVIDER:
