Happy Father’s Day!

“The father of godly children has cause for joy….”

Proverbs 23:24 NLT

This week we’re taking a break from our Bible study plan to have some fun and celebrate fathers! I don’t really have a lot to say, but I wanted to express gratitude on behalf of the rest of us for everything they do.

So, thanks, dads! In honor of your stunning strength, exceptional sense of humor, and overall coolness, I’ve collected some videos which showcase your amazing talents. Enjoy!

Awesome Dad Reflexes!

“The Lord your God is with you; the mighty One will save you.”

Zephaniah 3:17 NCV

Thanks, dads, for always being there to save us when we get into trouble. Your strength, speed, and spidey senses are astounding! When the swing breaks or the bicycle crashes or a random baseball bat is flying toward our face, we can count on you to keep us out of harm’s way.

Incredible Encouragement!

“Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid of them and don’t be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

Thank you, dads, for stepping in when we really need you. Sometimes this world’s a scary place, and it helps to know you’re right there with us, no matter what. When you’re by our side, you give us the courage to fly!

DAD JOKES!!

“A happy heart is like good medicine,
but a broken spirit drains your strength.”

Proverbs 17:22 NCV

What did the baby otter say to its dad? You are a dad like no otter. What did the pig give his dad for Father’s Day? Lots of hogs and kisses. When does a joke become a dad joke? When the punchline is apparent! The best dads are really punny. We love your bad, I mean dad jokes. Yoda best!

The video above was recorded by pastors of Radiant Church, which explains the “Happy Father’s Day Radiant!” message at the end. But I think we can expand that to all “radiant” fathers everywhere. Thank you for shining brightly in all you do for us!

“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.”

Daniel 12:3 NIV

This week’s Scripture passages focus on God, our heavenly Father. He is always there to save us when we get into trouble. He’s always right there with us, no matter what. He gives us strength and courage to spread our wings and fly. And He fills our hearts with overflowing joy!

“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow!”

John 15:11 NLT
