"The Influence of Fathers" 

Sermon Text:   Sermon Text: Luke 11: 11-13 and Matt. 10:37 

Introduction:    

  A good mother is extremely dear and close to the heart of her child. For the first two years of a child’s life, a good mother lovingly nourishes and tends to her child. The life of an infant is dependent on the mother’s care and concern. Though the mother continues to love and watch over the child, an environment larger than that of the mother begins to influence the child. Soon the outside world has an awesome influence on the child’s formative years. Circumstances brought on by the father helped determine this larger environment. It is imperative that the role of the father is understood. Let us look at two major factors the influences that are operatives ON the father, and the influences OF the  Father ON the world around him.

I. Influences ON the Father.

II. Influences OF the Father.

Conclusion:

The role of father must not be underestimated. His influence cannot be overstated. If fathers are to have a good and positive influence on their families they must have a firm foundation, that foundation is Jesus Christ our Savior and Son of the living God. A father must be born again and love God above everything else. In Christ we will operate from a firm foundation and be able to influence our families as well as the world.
