The Father's heart

Last week was a panel discussion with 3 fathers about raising children.
This week pastor Dwayne looks at Biblical ways for parenting with the emphasis that God is a good Father!
If you have made mistakes, there are ways to change it.  God can repair where we have made a mess.

6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'
