Father's Day conjures up very different emotions depending on our personal experience of fathers and grandfathers in our own lives, but tonight we're going to be thinking about the Fatherhood of God, and how His Love and Compassion are so much deeper than even the very best earthly parent can give.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But God, Who is rich in Mercy, because of His Great Love with which He Loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by Grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His Grace in His Kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the Gift of God.

[Ephesians 2v4-8]

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual Understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all Might, according to His Glorious Power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love, in Whom we have Redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

[Colossians 1v9-14]
