This is a sermon I preached on Sunday, July 16, 2019. Father’s Day. In this message from 1 Kings 2:1 – 4, we take a look at King David’s deathbed message to his son, Solomon.

The Message for Fathers…

1. David determines the standard for his son (verse 1 – 2)
2. David drives the faith of his family (verse 3)
3. David declares the promises of his God (verse 4)

The Message for All…

1. David doesn’t let his past define him
2. David doesn’t let his sins discredit him 
3. David doesn’t let his death defeat him

Fathers, don’t wait for your deathbed to give your final wish, words of love,
or vision for your family. You may not have the chance. Do it now. Please.
