Father's Day Sunday we are still in a series on the Ten Commandments and we will look at #5B “Honor your father (and mother). Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God is giving you." Exodus 20:12. God gives fathers the opportunity to live WELL. When they pursue worshipping, encouraging, learning and loving, wives are delighted, children are blessed, and society benefits. We are taking this Sunday to look at God's design for godly fathers. Rockwell Church June 18, 2023 Pastor Chris TeienGod’s Honorable Design for Fathers“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12)How Dads can do WELL#1 Dads are Designed to Worshipa.
