A Father's Love

This Father's Day sermon explores the nature of God's fatherly love through the parable of the prodigal son, revealing how our Heavenly Father watches, waits, and runs to meet His children when they return home. The message emphasizes that earthly fatherhood is a reflection of God's perfect fatherhood, not the other way around. Fathers are called to avoid provoking their children to anger while actively nurturing them in the Lord's instruction. The sermon addresses various stages of fatherhood and offers hope to those who grew up without good fathers, reminding everyone that God's compassion is everlasting and His love removes our transgressions as far as the east is from the west. The central truth is that no one needs to be perfect—God knows we are dust—but He calls us to be present, faithful, and to draw our capacity to love from Him.
