Father to the Fatherless

In this Father’s Day message, Pastor Gary shares from Psalm 68:4–6 and points us to the God who is infinitely high, yet intimately close. He is the LORD, majestic and faithful, worthy of endless praise — and yet He draws near as Father to the fatherless, defender of widows, restorer of the lonely, and deliverer of captives.

This message reminds us that worship begins with who God is, not with what we are facing. It also shows that God’s compassion is not separate from His holiness; it flows from it. The Father’s heart is to defend the vulnerable, restore the broken, and bring the spiritually dry into life through Jesus Christ.

Through the gospel, the rebellious do not have to remain rebellious. The unrighteous can be made righteous by grace through faith in Christ. And because we are created in the image of God and redeemed through Jesus, we are called to reflect His heart by loving, serving, welcoming, and helping others.
