The Glory of Our Father

In this Father’s Day sermon, Pastor Byron Chesney reflects on Proverbs 17:6 to explore the beauty and responsibility of fatherhood through both earthly and heavenly lenses. He emphasizes that grandchildren are a crown to older men, symbolizing legacy, while children view their fathers as their glory—a reflection of honor and admiration. Drawing from his personal upbringing in a loving Christian home, Pastor Byron contrasts the lasting influence of a godly father with the painful reality faced by those who grew up without that example. He parallels four truths about earthly fathers with our relationship to our Heavenly Father: we are created in His image, shaped by His influence, corrected by His loving discipline, and designed to bring Him glory. With personal stories, biblical wisdom, and heartfelt conviction, this sermon reminds believers that honoring God the Father begins with living lives that reflect His character and grace.
