Are you excitable? I mean, when things start to get a little difficult, when things are not going your way, when things happen that are just uncontrollable, do you start to lose your cool? Did you notice that during the pandemic you became more and more irritable, angry, and a difficult person to live with? Then you need to revisit your faith…the kind of faith that brings a calmness to life in the face of anything. That is what I want to talk about today.

Pastor Jahneke will share a Father's Day message at a time when many people want to get rid of all these special times like Columbus Day, Martin Luther King Day, even Thanksgiving and Christmas so we don't offend anyone or for whatever crazy reason. Some even want to get rid of the whole idea of using the term "father" or "mother", "he" or "she". Well, Pastor Al is not in favor of that at all. This Sunday is "Father's Day" and we should all come to church and celebrate the importance of "FATHER".

Today we live in a time when character issues really matter. “Big Tech” seems to want to control everything and unfortunately it could very well destroy the virtues that have made our nation great. But that is nothing compared to what it can do when it comes the values that God wants His people to hold on to! In times like these the people of God need to pull together building quality relationships. We need to have some loyalty to God’s Word and to each other.
