Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.” MEANING - Dedicate + Dictate = Achievement
This morning we are going to take a look at three early personalities who fathered well. They fathered differently but well. They fathered well because they dedicated their children to the Lord and were dedicated to the ways of God having achieved the unmerited favor of God’s grace in their lives. We father well when we recognize the grace of God, receive the grace of God, and relay the grace of God to the next generation.

The Day God Sang
April 26, 2020 • Pastor Greg Wagoner • Genesis 1:24–31
On day 6 or creation there is some phrasing in verse 27 that gives us a repetitive poetic pattern that leans into a thought that the day God sang was the day He created man. One commentator states: The making of man is so ushered in as to show that at length the work of creation had reached its perfection and ultimate goal. This first chapter of Genesis is the chapter of mysteries, and just as “the wind of God” in Genesis 1:2 was the pregnant germ which grew into the revelation of the Holy Ghost, so in Elohim, the many powers concentrated in one being, lies the germ of the doctrine of a plurality of persons in the Divine Unity. It is not a formal proof of the Trinity, nor do believers in the inspiration of Holy Scripture so use it. What they affirm is, that from the very beginning the Bible is full of such germs, and that no one of them remains barren, but all develop, and become Christian truths. There is in this first book a vast array of figures, types, indications, yearnings, hopes, fears, promises, and express predictions, which advance onwards like an ever-deepening river, and when they all find a logical fulfillment in one way, the conclusion is that that fulfillment is not only true, but was intended.
God So Loved Mankind
May 3, 2020 • Pastor Greg Wagoner • Genesis 2:1–17
In I John 4:8 the apostle states: "God is love." Yes, He is! His love rests firmly upon His creation. In Genesis chapter 2 we find our Creator God showing his love to mankind in various manifestations of provision. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got you and me, sister/brother in His hands!
