A Faithful Father

Clay Thornton · Matthew 1:18-25 · June 21, 2026

About This Sermon

A Father's Day message on why God entrusted the care of His Son to Joseph. Drawing from Matthew 1:18–25, Clay Thornton argues that God wasn't looking for a perfect father but a faithful one — a man who would put God first, respond to painful circumstances with mercy and integrity, and obey without hesitation. It challenges parents to consider what kind of character their children will remember, and how a righteous life shapes generational faith.
