It’s a privilege to command and also is a privilege to be a father. After my Executive Officer’s wife gave birth to their first child, I shared these words with the beaming young father, “This is your first Command. This is your family to lead, and your first priority now.” As a captain, the ship is your responsibility and pride. So, too, is a father to his family. During Trinity’s Father’s Day celebration, a tribute video was played to the congregation and children shared why their fathers are superheroes. IGNYTErs sang “Because You Loved Me,” and reminded everyone of a father’s pivotal role in the family. Pastor Dennis Lum’s message on “Fathering God’s Way” spoke of the need for fathers to first grow into, and experience the Father’s love.
