Good Good Father - Week 4

We're talking about dads today so I wanted to start by looking at some of the great American dads of our time.

...Maybe they aren't the greatest fathers. This is going to be a little heavier than usual so I wanted to start off on a light-hearted note. We're talking about father wounds. Some people call them daddy issues or father complexes, but the truth is, that our fathers affected all of us on a deep level. Most of this message is for people who have very deep wounds, but I think there's something here for everyone for two reasons:

  1. Ultimately this is a message about forgiveness. That’s what I’m going to ask you to do at the end.
  2. None of us had perfect dads. So you're going to have to contextualize this.

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬-‭21‬

17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge;
    I will pay them back,”
    says the Lord.

20 Instead,

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
    If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
    burning coals of shame on their heads.”

21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
