Last Sunday’s King of Kings movie was a lot of fun. Join us this coming Sunday for Dinner Church and a celebration of Father’s Day!

 

Father’s Day gives us a chance to recognize the men who support and guide the next generation. Gen Alpha (children younger than 18) are paying attention to the small things adults do like helping with schoolwork after a long day or being proud of them regardless of the result.

 

These everyday moments shape how Gen Alpha see themselves and what they believe is possible. That same steady presence can shape older adults too, reminding us that we never stop being shaped by the people who invest in us.

 

The Bible’s Book of  Proverbs 22:6 reminds us that steady guidance over time leaves a mark that lasts. It says, “Teach a child to choose the right path, and when he is older, he will remain upon it.”

 

The Bible’s Book of Psalms 78:4 calls us to tell the next generation about God’s goodness and power. It says, “We will not hide them from their descendants;  we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,  His power, and the wonders He has done.”

 

These Bible verses describe the kind of influence many of us have received from dads, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who are still with us, and also from those we miss and remember with gratitude.

 

Today we’re thankful for every man who listens, encourages, and helps Gen Alpha and the rest of us imagine who we can become. And as we celebrate, we choose to carry forward the best things these men have given us, so the next generation can grow with the same strength, hope, and steady presence that shaped our own lives.
