Prepare for your Father's Day Sabbath

Don't procrastinate on getting your local church Father's Day Sabbath supplies from Strong Tower Radio and other suppliers. Here is your checklist:

1. Get Father's Day Sabbath on your church calendar and announce the date in your church announcement period encouraging children to bring their father to your church for recognition and a Father's Day gift.
2. Get the church board to authorize funds for a Father's Day gift using the funds spent for Mother's Day as a benchmark for your request.
3. Download and print out the Strong Tower Radio/Blueprint for Men Father's Day card template from StrongTowerRadio.org; cut it out then, get your children and youth Sabbath School classes to pass out the Strong Tower Radio/Blueprint for Men Father's Day card and help them complete the fill-in-the-blank messages to their father. Father's Day Card link
4. Pickup 2" white sticker labels from an office supply store as soon as possible. If they don't have the stickers you need, then order them online (this takes a few days so confirm local availability with enough lead time to order online if needed). Order enough stickers for two years and enough to give every father and all children young or old. Father's Day Stickers link
5. Download and print out the Strong Tower Radio/Blueprint for Men Father's Day stickers template from StrongTowerRadio.org. Give the "I love my dad" stickers to the children during the church service children's story. Stickers: "I love my dad" sticker template
6. Download the Strong Tower Radio/Blueprint for Men "Glad Your My Dad" video from StrongTowerRadio.org, then get your children and youth Sabbath School classes to pass out the Strong Tower Radio/Blueprint for Men Father's Day card and help them complete the fill-in-the-blank messages to their father.

Our Father in Heaven

Each June brings us Father’s Day, the 16th of this year. Do we give much thought to God being our Father? Do we think of Him as a kind, patient, persistent Father, or a no-fun disciplinarian?

To know God as our Father is to love Him. The Bible writers record the amazing, real history of God working patiently with humanity to save us from ourselves repeatedly, from Genesis to Revelation!

Our heavenly Father commends His love toward us by sending Jesus to incarnate into the human race. Jesus gave His perfect life at Calvary to both provide forgiveness and give us victory over sin. Did our heavenly Father suffer at Calvary as Jesus did?

Picture this: Psalm 18:9 tells us that darkness is under His feet when God comes to Earth. God was there at Calvary. The region surrounding Jerusalem was dark from noon until 3 p.m. (Matt 27:45). The darkness protected humanity from being destroyed by His glory. Veiled by darkness, our heavenly Father stood by, fulfilling the agreement from the Earth’s foundation that He would provide Himself a lamb (Gen 22:8). See His arms encircle the intense darkness around the cross, straining yet holding Himself back as if to say “I can’t help you right now Son, to this we agreed! Darkness hides Me from You yet remember who I AM!”

Jesus gained victory by faith and with a strong voice, as the darkness broke, He trumpeted, “It’s finished (the plan)! Father, into

your hands I commend my spirit” (trust you with my life) [Jn 19:30, Lk 23:46]. No matter the situation, we can always trust our heavenly Father. Thank you for trusting God with your life and supporting Strong Tower Radio, helping proclaim His true character as a loving Father to the world!
