Summary of message from 5 December 2021
Speaker: Pastor Somkiat Kittipongse
More than that by how much? ( Luke 11:9-13; Hebrews 12:5-11)
A father in this world teach their children in these four ways:
1. Be an example (1 Thessalonians 2:10) It`s the heart of teaching. Show by example. If we teach our child, we have to do the same by example.
2. We teach with our mouth. (1 Thessalonians 2:11) We go to church to hear from the mouth (the words of teaching)
3. With Love. (2 Corinthians 12:14) To give the best for their children.
4. Discipline. (Hebrews 12:9) Not only to give your best, but need to teach (punish for wrong) Punish to keep child within limits.
Earthly Father vs Heavenly Father
1, Have same good intentions. (Matthew 7:11) Even the bad father will give their best to their children
2. Knows how to correct mistakes (Hebrews 12:7)
3. Done with full will (2 Cor 12:15) No need to force them
4. Give up own benefits (1 Thess 2:8)
Their Differences
Earthly Father Heavenly Father
1. Only at one place Everywhere (Omnipresent)
2. At certain times At all times
3. Limited Ability Have all ability. Anything in His Will
4. Time is short God is forever
5. Have limited ability in making decisions We have the Bible to tell us. God has His own ways
6. A sinner Non Sinner
Our earthly father may make wrong decisions, but our Heavenly Father will never make wrong decisions.
