Good News for Mothers by Dan Rodgers
Introduction: Proverbs 31 is the classic portrayal of a godly, virtuous woman--a mother, a wife and a custodian of her household. With today being Mother's Day, half of the churches in America will either preach on or at least comment on Proverbs 31...and why not, you cannot find a better passage of Scripture to tell the story of motherhood. When we conclude… ( read more )

A Happy Father's Day by Jerry Vines
This is Father's Day. I remind all of the fathers that we take second place on this very special day. The biggest day is not Father's Day, but the biggest day is Mother's Day. You do understand that, don't you? If you don't understand that, there's an article in the newspaper today that will help you just a little bit. Seventy two percent of Americans plan to celebrate… ( read more )

The Parable of the Perfect Father by Jim Henry
A pastor friend of mine said that a young lady came for counseling and sat down across from him. She was thirty years old, single and teary eyed. As she talked to him- and shared her heart, it was evident that she saw that marriage had to be -he key to her happiness. Without marriage, all she could see was protracted loneliness. So, as he listened to her, he said… ( read more )

A Tribute to Mothers by J. Gerald Harris
We have heard some beautiful tributes to mothers today. Thank God for Christian mothers. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, said, "All that I am my mother made me." Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, said, "All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother." Dwight L. Moody, the famed evangelist, declared… ( read more )

The Dad You Never Had by Johnny Hunt
"There's no question in my mind that Psalm 128 can correctly be entitled The Fathers' Day Psalm. It is obviously written to a man. In verse 4 it says, "thus shall the man." It's written to a man who is married because verse 3 says, "thy wife." It is written to a married man who has children because it says, "thy children." So, Psalm 128 sets before us the kind of dad… ( read more )

Honoring Father And Mother by Adrian Rogers
Be finding the book of Exodus please. Chapter twenty. That brings us to that wonderful passage that we know as the Ten Commandments. Exodus chapter twenty.

A Father's Love by David Cawston
A small boy's definition of Father's Day: "It's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend as much." Definition of a father... "A father is a man who carries pictures in his wallet where his money used to be." Paul Harvey's definition of a father... "A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic.... A father never feels worthy of the… ( read more )

Today Is Mother's Day! by Dan Rogers
As I thought about the message this morning, I thought, what can I say about mothers that has not already been said many times before? The answer is, I doubt seriously there is anything I can say that would be new to you or would be something you have not heard before. There will be many messages delivered this morning about the virtuous and godly… ( read more )

A Father's Mandate by Ed Young
How much do we know about Joseph, the earthy father of Jesus? How much do you really know about what kind of dad he was. When I say Joseph, usually we think of the other Old Testament Joseph and most of us forget the New Testament Joseph, the father of our Savior in an earthly sense. But what we know about him right when we first meet him in the… ( read more )
