Bonjour,

Here’s yesterday’s sermon.

1. Thank God for our heavenly Father

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.'" Matthew 6:9 (NIV)

In the Old Testament, God is called “Father” only seven times. 

Then Jesus came along and said this is how people should pray: Modeling Relational Reverence Jesus calls Yahweh Elohim “Father.” Jesus uses the expression more than 150 times when he refers to God.

FORGOT TO SAY: Abba means “Father, I will obey you.” Abba is not merely about intimacy; it’s also about authority.

2. Thank God for our natural Dads

[Luk 17:11-19 NLT]

Jesus also notices our lack of gratitude.

Cured and Healed.

 Your faith has made you well: There was an extra healing for this tenth leper. When Jesus said this, He likely meant God’s work within the man’s mind & heart. The other lepers had whole bodies, but still possibly had sick hearts, minds and ways.

3. Forgive your fathers & perhaps seek forgiveness

 most of us would love to believe that our parents have tried their best, but due to our fallen sinful nature (Romans 3:23) even the godliest of parents can mess up from time to time.

4. Be the better Spiritual Sisters and Brothers

[Luk 15:24-32 NIV]

Get along with you siblings in order to bless your father’s heart.

I pray this short sermon blessed you.

Peace and Love,

Ed
