On Father's Day, this sermon explores what it truly means for God to be called 'Father.' Drawing on the biblical words pater and Abba, the message shows that God is simultaneously nourisher, protector, and upholder — One who loves us first and then leads us wisely. Because many people's view of God is unconsciously shaped by their earthly fathers, this message challenges distorted views (the angry God, the permissive God, the absent God) and calls listeners to embrace both the intimacy and the authority of their perfect heavenly Father, primarily through honest, relational prayer.
