*I Know I Can be a Dad*
*/Opening:/*
What does it mean to be a dad?
How would you answer that?
Where do we go to answer that question?
The world’s best idea of a dad is Homer Simpson
The dads of the Bible
Adam (first dad) – son was a murderer
Abraham – he sent one of his sons out into the wilderness to die
Samuel – his sons were corrupt (I Sam 8)
David – one of his sons tried to kill him and take over the kingdom
Maybe if we just look at what the Bible says about the duties of being a dad:
Love Gen. 37:4
Command Gen.
50:16
Instruct Prov.
1:8
Guide and warn 1 Thess.
2:11
Train Hos.
11:1–3
Rebuke Gen.
34:30
Restrain 1 Sam.
3:12, 13
Punish Deut.
21:18–21
Chasten Heb.
12:7
Nourish Is.
1:2
Supply needs Matt.
7:8–11
Do not provoke Eph.
6:4
Feeling encouraged yet?
As father’s we live with this pressure of succeeding at being a dad, and it seems that the harder we try, the more we come up short.
So what are we supposed to do?
There is something about dads that is unique, and the thought of it at times can be overwhelming.
I remember the day my oldest daughter was born.
That evening as I left my wife and daughter in the hospital, I came how and I cried.
There is so much that keys off of being a dad.
We are the heads of the home.
The leaders of the family.
Think about this, when kids fall and skin their knee, who do they want, mom?
When kids want to know if they will measure up, who do they want, dad?
I have yet to talk to a person who has only aspired to have their moms proud of them.
Today I want to share with you three reason why I know I can be a dad.
/I know I can be a dad…/
*1.
Because God has given me a role model, Himself*
- We are created in the Image of God /(just like our kids resemble us)/
/"//Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
…. //27//So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.//"
//Genesis 1:26-27/
- God is often misunderstood /(just like we are)/
How a person views their earthly father often transfers to how they view God (strict, loving, abandon)
