We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Exemplary father. Look at somebody say exemplary. Exemplary. That's a big word for some folks.

But I'm going to define it. All right. Exemplary means serving as a desirable model or representing the best of its kind i like that

second part representing the what best of its kind that's an exemplary father you know what that

really is saying that means that you take the best of your father and you build yourself off

the best you represent the best of your father he may have had some downs he may have had some

some error he may have made some mistakes whatever and you just look past those because you

gonna make some too amen but you represent the best of him. Amen. If you didn't know your father,

you pray and ask God what was the best of him. That's what I want. Amen. Amen. Characteristics

of its kind or illustrating a general rule.

Okay?

So this is the definition of exemplary.

So we all want to be desirable models.

And we want to represent the best of our kind.

In the beginning, it's not going to be long,

so you'll be able to go out and have your Father's Day steak.

In the beginning, God made man in his own image and likeness

to represent him on the new planet.

So in the beginning, God did that, Genesis 5 and 1.

This is the book of the generations of Adam in the day that God created, man. In the likeness of God,

what? Made who him? God made he him. So God made man in his likeness and image. I broke all of that down in part 12, the whole imaging God thing. So it's understandable. And you know, we go over all this stuff, but sometimes you might forget. So I have to remind you, especially on a holiday like Father's Day, you really need to know yourself. And you need to know where you come from.

You all, look at somebody and say, you come from goodstock.
