What God Wants from You, Dad
Ken Harrell
Senior Pastor
God knows that strong, committed families don’t just happen. They take time, effort, dedication… and first and foremost, Him. And while families look a lot different now from when God first passed down His instructions, “What God Wants from You, Dad”, hasn’t changed at all.
Fill-in NotesKey Scripture
Deuteronomy 6:1–9, Ephesians 5:25
Take Away / Application
God wants fathers, and His people, to model, reflect, and mentor others in loving the Lord with all their heart, soul, and strength.

- Read Deuteronomy 6:6–7. Whether your dad or someone else, who has been the biggest spiritual mentor in your life? Who can you start pouring yourself into for the sake of spiritual growth?
- Read Deuteronomy 6:5. Practically, what does it look like to live this verse out?
