The Value of a Father’s Instruction

A Father’s instruction carries a great deal of weight. But even more so, when they are grounded in the Word of God. This is what Solomon was passing down to his son(s) and future generations.

SERMON TEXT

Proverbs 4:1-7 (ESV)

Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction,
    and be attentive, that you may gain insight,
for I give you good precepts;
    do not forsake my teaching.
When I was a son with my father,
    tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,
he taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
    keep my commandments, and live.
Get wisdom; get insight;
    do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
    love her, and she will guard you.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
    and whatever you get, get insight.
