The School of Hard Knocks – Heavenly Father and Earthly Father’s

Pastor David shares some hard hitting facts this Father’s Day. Children without fathers are at a 4x’s greater risk of poverty, 7x’s more likely to become pregnant as a teen, 2x’s more likely to drop out of school, and more likely to go to prison, commit crime, and abuse drugs and alcohol. Today we look at the intentional and unintentional consequences of being a father and how our Heavenly Father was, is and will be there throughout our lives.Scripture: Genesis 4:1-16
