The Father Effect
SERMON THEME
In honor of Father’s Day, Pastors Richard and Joan shared the importance of Fatherhood from a biblical perspective and a father’s impact on the family unit. Those without a father in the home are not without hope, though! There is an eternal Father you and your children can count on – He will fight for you! Always remember and call upon God’s word for you and your children!
SCRIPTURES
Genesis 18:19; Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:4; 2 Timothy 3:16 EXB

Discuss and Reflect
Discuss a time when you have had to humble yourself and ask your child for forgiveness, and Holy Spirit had to help you. If not a child, discuss a time in a different relationship.
Discuss the responsibilities of fathers:
To train our children in biblical truth.
Affirm the biblical identity and purpose in our children.
Look at Proverbs 22:15. Discuss how it is misinterpreted and what the interpretation should be.
PRAYER POINT / DECLARATION
We decree California is the Gate of the west and the glory is waiting at this gate. We decree open wide the gates and the King of Glory will come in. 'Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.' Psalms 24:7-8
