It may seem that most people nowadays, Dad’s included, are on a mission. Think about those “cutting edge” men & women who were on a mission to create things that most of us may now take for granted, from indoor plumbing to plastics to computers. And those who are followers of Christ are not too unlike “The Blues Brothers”, two men on “a mission from God!”So, yesterday we celebrated Father’s Day at BPC with close to 70 in attendance and not only did we talk about The Blues Brothers & the Top 10 Greatest Inventions but, we also talked about Jarius, the synagogue ruler of Mark chapter 5. He was on a mission to have his daughter healed & she was. She was healed by the One who was truly on a mission from God…Jesus!
Men (and women) who are on a mission from God…
Walk in obedience with the Holy Spirit as an example to their families & friends…
Walk in Godly confidence & not in pride…
and…
Walk in high expectations for themselves & speak faith & belief in others.
At the end of the service it was my honor & privilege to pray a blessing over all of the Dad’s & their families. As a way of saying “thanks for being Dad” each father received a tire gage or a pair of
work gloves. The gloves are a reminder to keep our lives fitted with the hand of God & the tire gage is a reminder to keep our spiritual lives filled up properly.I ask you…where else can you go on Father’s Day to hear about The Blues Brothers, the Top 10 Greatest Inventions, and an awesome Bible passage about a leader who was on a serious mission? I’ll tell you where… BridgePoint church…that’s where!!
Hoping all the Dad’s out there had a great time @ BPC & a seriously great Father’s Day yesterday!
