Summary
Fathers are more than providers. They are “satellites”—God-placed guides who see farther, protect better, and aim children toward destiny. In this Father’s Day message from East Bakersfield, Pastor Raul Rodriguez walks through Scripture to show God’s blueprint for fatherhood: presence, protection, patience, and a legacy of integrity.
Key Scriptures
Matthew 7:9–11 — A good Father gives good gifts
Genesis 18:19 — Abraham’s faith and obedience shape a household
Matthew 1:19–24 — Joseph hears God and protects his family
Luke 15 — The Father runs to restore the prodigal
Big ideas:
• Fathers lead spiritually. Be the priest of your home.
• Presence is love. Attention shapes identity.
• Protection is spiritual first, then physical.
• Teach along the way. Ordinary moments disciple hearts.
• Integrity outlives accomplishments.
