"The Heart of a Father" - Luke 15:11-32 - Jun 21, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

Drawing from the parable of the prodigal son, Pastor Scotty Brown shares a special Father's Day message on the profound calling of earthly fathers. While no human father is perfect, we can look to our Heavenly Father as the ultimate model of grace, discipline, and mercy. Pastor Scotty outlines four essential actions for fathers building a lasting legacy: Love unconditionally Confess when you fall short Share God's Word and lovingly discipline Have your children's attention Believers are encouraged to seek God's forgiveness, walk humbly, and model a genuine faith for the next generation to follow. Whether you are leading a family or seeking the Lord for the first time, find comfort in a perfect Father who rejoices over you with singing.
