Celebrate Father's Day

​God is presented in Scripture by a variety of images.  He is called our Rock, our Refuge, our Shepherd, our Shield, our Redeemer, and our Deliverer.  But I would argue that no picture of God is more powerful and personal than seeing God as our Father.  With this title, the invisible God becomes the intimate God.  When Jesus spoke the words, "Our Father who is in heaven...", he unlocked the door to the living room of God's house and invited us to come in and sit with our Heavenly Father.  A father who will never turn you away.  The door to his house is never closed.

"Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor ruling spirits, nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything else in the world will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"  (Romans 8:38-39)

Come celebrate Father's Day at Parkside Fellowship.  Join us this Sunday at 9:30am, as we learn why God is our "perfect" father.  A father who is holy.  A father who is the almighty maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.  We speak truth when we call him King.  And we also speak truth when we call him by his favorite name...Abba, Father.
