6/21/26 - Stand-Up Dads: Ordinary Men Who Stepped Up

In this Father’s Day message, discover what real biblical manhood and fatherhood look like through the lives of three ordinary, faithful men: Joseph the protector who obeyed God in crisis, Job the prayer warrior who covered his children spiritually, and Mordecai the bold mentor who equipped the next generation for such a time as this.Drawing from Matthew 1-2, Job 1 & 42, and Esther 2 & 4 — and inspired by the heroic sacrifices of modern fathers like Ryan Jennings and Juan Andrade who gave their lives to save their children — this sermon calls men to step up with gritty resolve, sacrificial love, and unashamed spiritual leadership as modeled in Ephesians 5 and 6.No capes, no Instagram perfection — just steady obedience, prayer that wars for your family’s souls, and courage to protect and guide what God has entrusted to you, even when it costs everything. Dads, your family needs you to be faithful, not flawless. The same God who honored these men stands ready to equip you today!!
