A godly father that lives a life of sobriety and watchfulness aligned with God’s purposes for his people…
I. Lives according to God’s created order (Gen. 9:20-21).
a. God’s order: ruled by God to rule creation.
b. Sin’s distortion: ruled by creation rebelled against God.
II. Takes the generational effects of personal sins in the lives of his family seriously (Gen. 9:22-27).
a. The generational snowball effects of sin: cursing.
b. God’s plan for our legacy: Blessing.
III. Provides loving discipline that rewards virtue and punishes evil (Gen. 9:22-27).
a. Choosing honor over shame: Shem and Japhet.
b. Protecting our family from the corrupting effects of our sins: Call it out!
Provide Protective Discipline.
1. DISCIPLINE YOURSELF: Live a life that is worth imitating – sober and watchful not passive and slothful.
2. DISCIPLINE WITH PRINCIPLES: Leave a legacy that is worth passing on – blessing not cursing.
3. DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC BEHAVIORS: Give clear boundaries to your family according to God’s word.
