Leviticus 6:9-13
I recently read in Nehemiah when I was struck with a scripture I have read many times and have even written and spoken from this text in the past. But for some reason, I had forgotten until I recently read the text. The text comes from Nehemiah 4:14, and it impacted me many years ago when I attended a men’s conference. It helped me understand my responsibility as a man of God and especially to my family.

Every year churches all across America forfeit Father's Day. What a great opportunity to target not just our Fathers but all men connected with our local body of Believers. In this yearly talk about not forfeiting Father's Day, I share some thoughts on how a church can target and engage the men of the church. It is a time that men would expect a church to do so - so why not do it. If your church has not been using this day as a day to engage your men, I pray this Father's Day you will and NOT FORFEIT FATHER'S DAY.
