“Dad, do you love me?”
Boom. Lump in the throat.
“I love you more than you can imagine, buddy.”
I probably tell my son I love him about 25 times a day. It’s a part of my language. It’s a part of our relationship. And still, he asks for more. He loves to hear it. But, we as men, love to hear it.
There is a calming sense of knowing you’re loved, despite circumstances and decisions. God has created fatherhood to be important. “I love you” from a father can give us peace and confidence; it keeps us from worrying.
“Does it run out if I mess up?”
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! 1 John 3:1
We get a sense of how important this concept is from our earthly Father. If you have a great relationship with your father, you know how much it has impacted you. If your relationship with your father is non-existent or strained, you know how deep the wounds go.
This Father’s day, remember, you have a heavenly Father who tells you, “I love you more than you can imagine. No matter what you do, no matter where you’ve been.” And when we understand that, it makes us want to run to Him, not away.
For us dads, our words carry so much weight, capable of driving home the message of intrinsic love and value. Let’s use this day to re-engage or continue our daily decision to love. For those who aren’t yet dads, never had children or have lost children, you can make an incredible impact on the people around you. My story has victory now because a man leaned in when I was young and needed guidance and used phrases like, “you matter.”
This Sunday, we’ll talk about how we can all play a role in instilling confidence and value in the next generation. Join us as Caleb gives us a perspective on leaving a legacy that will be encouraging, no matter what your story is!

DADFEST 2017
Sun, Jun 18
8:30, 10, 11:30a & 6p
Historically, one of the lowest attended Sundays of the year for churches across the country is Father’s Day. But not so with our church. One of the reasons for this is that we love to make it a great day for guys. So whether it’s paintball, sliders, or root beer floats with the US Open on in the background– this is a great day! Not just for the guys, but for everyone. Our hope is that you truly celebrate this day, and start out celebrations at church.
Not only is this Sunday going to be fun, but we’ll also focus on part two of our Letters series as we continue to look at the Apostle Paul’s letters to the early church. This Sunday, we’re going to look at something we tend to overlook when it comes to living the Christian life. There are so many roadblocks in our lives that want to take us out. If we would only remember to focus on this one piece that we may be missing, we may take a huge step in living the kind of life God has called us to.
It’s going to be a great Sunday, we look forward to seeing you. As always, think of those who may need God and community in their lives and invite them.
Blessings,
Jeff
