Being An Effective Father
Ephesians 6:4
Main Point:
The scriptures will teach us how to be effective Fathers if we will them!
An effective Father is one who:
1. Seeks to the Lord.
>If you are going to effectively love and lead your family, you must love and obey the Lord! If not you are going in your own strength…
Matthew 22:37 Jesus says this is the greatest command.
*If you‘re going to Love and lead your family, they need to see you as authentic lover and follower of Jesus!
2. Seeks to his children in the Lord.
>He admits when he is wrong, has sinned and repents to the Lord and to his family. We all fail – it’s what we do with our failures.
3. Seeks to avoid his children.
Exasperate = .
How? By being a hypocrite. By being harsh. By living out of one’s flesh.
Ephesians 4:29-32
