Everlasting Father

Everlasting Father

One of the greatest crises of our time is fatherlessness and the devaluing of fatherhood. There are too few people with a positive view, much less a clear understanding of fatherhood.

When God is described as a Heavenly Father it is difficult for most people to have a healthy understanding of what that means. At the same time, most people would consider themselves--and all humans--as being children of God; but, what does that mean and is it even true?

With a general confusion surrounding fatherhood and the assumption of a universal Heavenly Father, the thought of an Everlasting Father seems hard to grasp.

...Do we all have the Everlasting Father as a father?

The Universalist would say we all do.
The Postmodernist would say it’s all relative- if it’s “true” for you, then yes!
The Evolutionist would say the “cosmos” is our father.

But what does the Bible have to say about this?

The Bible highlights three representative fathers: Adam (the father of the human race), Jesus (the Everlasting Father), and Satan (the “prince of the power of the air” and the father of liars and “the sons of disobedience”).

By Adam we fall, by Satan we are destroyed, and by Christ, we are redeemed and will one day rise with Him.

We’re living in a crisis of spiritual-fatherlessness and here, in the midst of it, we read in Isaiah 9:6 of an “Everlasting Father.”

Is He YOUR father?

Join us this Sunday as we examine and mine the depths of meaning behind the name, “Everlasting Father” and ask such questions as, “What does it mean to be a child of the Everlasting Father” and “How do I know that I’m one?”
