Credo – Week 1 | God The Father

When scarcity feels inevitable and fathers have failed you, it's hard to believe the world was made good and someone cares. This message names that ache — the sense that life is a power struggle, that creation is broken beyond repair, and that God might be distant or indifferent. It also names how personal wounds with earthly dads make the idea of a loving Father feel unsafe or unimaginable. The sermon returns to Genesis and the creedal image of God as a Father who makes a generous, habitable world and creates humans to reflect divine life through relationship. It traces how Jesus reveals the Father’s compassion, shows God’s commitment to repair what we’ve spoiled, and calls the church to be present where it hurts. Expect clear, hopeful thinking about why creation matters and practical comfort for people who’ve been disappointed by power, scarcity, or absent fathers — and a fresh surprise about what a “good Father” really looks like.
