Celebrate Father's Day with us as we dive into the impactful message of "Arrows" by Pastor George Sawyer. Discover the incredible value, impact, and influence of godly fathers and the profound role they play in shaping their families and the next generation.
At Calvary Assembly, we are a friend of men, recognizing the importance of nurturing and supporting fathers in their spiritual journey. Drawing inspiration from the Psalm of Ascents, traditionally sung by families as they traveled up to worship at the temple in Jerusalem, Pastor Sawyer highlights the significance of family worship and the act of coming together as a family to worship God.
Solomon, the author of the Psalm, built the majestic Temple, demonstrating great wealth and power. However, he humbly acknowledged that true success and protection come from the Lord. The watchmen of our families, fathers, must understand that only God can truly safeguard their loved ones from the strategies of the enemy. Providing for our families is important, but without relying on the Lord, our efforts can lead to stress, anxiety, and a lack of rest and enjoyment.
Children are a blessing, born out of the love between a husband and wife. They are likened to arrows in the hands of fathers. The most important aspect is not the quiver (the external appearances, material possessions), but rather what is inside the quiver—the home, the stability, and the godly influence provided by fathers. As fathers, you have been entrusted with the precious responsibility of shaping and launching these arrows into the next generation. Your strength and guidance propel them forward, reaching farther than you could ever imagine.
Some fathers may have experienced the absence of a father figure or guidance in their lives, feeling aimless or adrift. But be encouraged, for God's hand is upon you now. You can extend the grace you have received and make a significant impact in the lives of your children. Lost arrows can be found, and it's never too late to restore and reconnect.
Though some arrows may choose their own paths, straying as prodigals, we hold onto the promise of God's faithfulness. Join us as we explore the powerful message of "Arrows" and discover how fathers can shape their families and leave a lasting legacy.
