 Did you know the original name for DUCT TAPE was DUCK TAPE? Invented by a mom in early 1940's to seal boxes of ammo sent to those fighting in the war. Primarily because it resisted water. Ammo boxes being sent overseas were opening due to the moisture & it was creating huge problems. Today there is enough duct tape sold every year to wrap the planet 12 x. That's a lot of tape. You can buy it in almost any color. Duct tape has been used to fix things everywhere from a space ship to submarines. Dads are like Duct Tape. They can fix things. The good ones help their families & kids stick together. They last. They are tough yet flexible. Duct Tape Dads connect their families to Jesus. When Paul wanted to encourage a new group of Believers he called to mind the image of a Faithful Father. One who challenged them to walk with Jesus. Who modeled or showed them the way. Who cheered them along! Who protected them. Sunday we're going to honor the men who have and do take their roles & responsibilities seriously. Everyone of us has a father. We're all a product of his influence in our home. You have the potential to be an influence for Jesus today. We've some special things planned Sunday. Gift cards to give away. Donuts to be eaten. A special video honoring our dads. I hope you'll be here to honor those special men called Dad! See you this Sunday! Pastor Mike   How much strength do you need?? Probably depends on the task at hand. I just bought some 40 volt power tools this past week. I had choices and ended up going with the tools that had more "power" so they could help me get the job done.
Couldn't we all use just a little more POWER in our lives! Power to do the hard thing rather than the easy way out. Power to forgive. Maybe you need the strength to hold on one more day? Or patience with a co-worker? Maybe it's time to share your faith story with others, but you don't quite have the strength yet to do so? When most people consider Samson they think of his power & strength. (see his story in Judges 13-16) If you recall, the secret to his incredible power was that he had never had a hair cut. He was dedicated to God from birth and the evidence of that was his long flowing hair. BUT- it really wasn't his hair. The story reminds us on different occasions that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him in POWER. The Lord working in Him and through Him gave him strength. Friend, I want to remind you today of these precious truths:
What is the Lord asking of you? Know for a fact that the one who calls you is able to give you the strength you need! To His glory. See you this Sunday! Pastor Mike PS- Father's Day is GOING TO BE AWESOME. Bunch of gift cards to pass along and other special things to recognize the importance of being a dad! |
