The Heart of the Father

In this week’s message, we delve into the profound concept of 'the heart of the father,' drawing inspiration from the story of King David and his son Absalom in 2 Samuel 18. We explore four key characteristics of a father's heart: care, compassion, correction, and celebration. This message challenges us to reflect on our own relationships with our earthly fathers and our Heavenly Father. It reminds us that God's love for us is unconditional, much like David's love for Absalom despite his rebellion. We're encouraged to embrace both the nurturing and corrective aspects of God's love, understanding that true love involves both compassion and discipline. The parable of the Prodigal Son is beautifully woven into this message, illustrating God's eagerness to celebrate our return and growth. This teaching invites us to examine our own hearts, to forgive where necessary, and to strive to embody these godly characteristics in our own lives and relationships.
