We apologize for having to cancel Biker Church this morning due to an unexpected family medical situation.
As we celebrate Father's Day, we want to leave every father with a simple challenge:
Every father was once a son.
Think about that for a moment.
What lessons did you learn from the men who came before you? What lessons are you passing on to those who come after you?
The greatest legacy a man leaves is not found in his possessions, accomplishments, or title. It is found in the lives he influences, the values he teaches, and the example he sets every day.
One day your children, grandchildren, friends, and family will tell stories about you.
What will they say?
Will they remember a man of integrity? A man of faith? A man who loved well, worked hard, and stood firm when life got difficult?
Keep going, fathers. The world needs godly men now more than ever.
Today's sermon is wrapped up in the picture below.
Happy Father's Day from all of us at Triple Tree Ministries. God bless.

Tomorrow Sunday June 21 we will be having Biker Church at 9:00 A.M. Lancaster Harley Davidson before the Father's day Bike show

What a Real Father Looks Like
Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,"
Our culture tells men that strength means being tough.
The Bible says strength means being sacrificial.
A real father is not measured by how loud he is.
A real father is measured by how well he loves.
God designed fathers to be living illustrations of His character.
Children often learn about God by watching Dad.
That is a huge responsibility.

Think about riding in a motorcycle group.
The road captain doesn't ride behind everyone.
He rides out front.
He watches for danger.
He takes responsibility for the route.
He serves the riders by helping them arrive safely.
A father is called to lead the same way.
Not by demanding.
Not by controlling.
But by serving and protecting.

The Father's Responsibilities
1. Love His Wife
Children learn about love by watching their parents.
A father who honors his wife teaches his children what love looks like.
Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,"
Jesus sacrificed Himself for His people.
A godly husband sacrifices for his wife.
2. Train His Children
Children need more than food and shelter.
They need guidance.
They need the truth.
They need correction mixed with love.
Proverbs 22:6
"Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it."
3. Encourage Instead of Crushing
Many fathers can remember hurtful words spoken over them.
God warns fathers not to create that same wound.
Colossians 3:21
"Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged."
Correction is necessary.
Humiliation is not.
Discipline is necessary.
Cruelty is not.
4. Point the Family Toward God
A father's greatest responsibility is spiritual leadership.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."
Why We Need Jesus
No father can do these things perfectly.
Every dad eventually fails.
Every husband falls short.
That's why fathers need Jesus too.
Jesus lived the perfect life no man has ever lived.
He showed us how to love, serve, forgive, protect, and sacrifice.
The closer a man follows Jesus, the better father he becomes.
The Good News
Maybe your father failed.
Maybe you have failed as a father.
Neither situation is beyond God's grace.
The cross is big enough for both wounds and regrets.
Jesus restores broken children.
Jesus restores broken fathers.

Think about: Which of these responsibilities do you think is most needed in fathers today?

The goal is not being a perfect father.
The goal is pointing your family to the perfect Father.
Prayer
Father, help the men in our lives reflect Your character. Teach us to love our wives, guide our children, and follow Jesus faithfully. Heal broken families and help us become examples of Your grace. Amen.

"A real man leads by love, not fear,
pointing his family to Christ who's near.
When fathers follow Heaven's way,
their homes grow stronger day by day." - Rev

“When Father Doesn't Look Like Father”
Psalm 27:10 "For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the LORD will take me in."
Some people hear the words "God the Father" and immediately feel comfort.
Others feel pain.
Why?
Because many of us learned what a father was from imperfect men.
Some fathers were absent.
Some fathers were angry.
Some fathers were addicted.
Some fathers were cold and distant.
Some fathers were physically present but emotionally gone.
When those experiences become our definition of "father," it becomes hard to trust God.
We assume God must be like the men who hurt us.
But God is not a bigger version of our earthly father.
He is the perfect Father our earthly fathers were supposed to reflect.

“Imagine trying to learn what a diamond looks like by only seeing broken glass.
You might think diamonds are sharp, dangerous, and ugly.
Then one day someone places a real diamond in your hand.
Suddenly you realize the broken glass never represented the real thing.
Many people judge God based on broken glass.”
God says, "Look at Me, not the broken pieces."
Why Earthly Fathers Fail
Every earthly father is a sinner.
Even good fathers make mistakes.
Even loving fathers lose patience.
Even faithful fathers have weaknesses.
The Bible says:
Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
That includes fathers.
Some fathers fail because of selfishness.
Some fail because nobody showed them how to be a father.
Some carry wounds from their own childhood.
Their failures are real.
The pain is real.
But their failures do not define God.
What God Is Really Like
Listen to how God describes Himself:
Psalm 103:13 "As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him."
God is compassionate.
God is patient.
God is faithful.
God doesn't abandon His children.
God doesn't forget His promises.
God doesn't stop loving us on our worst days.
Jesus Shows Us the Father
Jesus came to show us exactly what God is like.
John 14:9 "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
When Jesus touched lepers, we saw the Father's heart.
When Jesus forgave sinners, we saw the Father's heart.
When Jesus welcomed children, we saw the Father's heart.
When Jesus died on the cross for us, we saw the Father's heart.
If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.
A question to consider. Please write your answer down on a piece of paper. “How has your experience with your earthly father affected the way you view God?” Keep your written answer somewhere safe and look at it every now and then. Reflect on it and think about how you would answer this question at the different times of your life.
Your earthly father may have failed you.
Your Heavenly Father never will.
Don't let a broken picture keep you from the One who loves you no matter what, unconditionally.
Pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being the perfect Father that we all need. Thank You for loving us when we are weak, carrying us when we are broken, and never abandoning us when life becomes difficult. Your Word reminds us that even when earthly fathers fail, You remain faithful. You have never left us, never forgotten us, and never stopped loving us.
Lord, today we thank You for our earthly fathers. We thank You for the sacrifices they made, for the food they provided, the clothes they purchased, the roof they put over our heads, and the ways they cared for us that we may not have fully understood at the time. We recognize that many fathers carried burdens, fears, and wounds of their own.
Father, we also bring before You the pain that many of us carry. Some of us were hurt by fathers who were absent, angry, abusive, addicted, or emotionally distant. Those wounds run deep. We ask You to heal the broken places in our hearts that only You can reach.
Help us to forgive our fathers, not because what happened was right, but because You have forgiven us and You call us to release the bitterness that has held us captive. Forgive us for the anger, resentment, and unforgiveness that have hardened our hearts and hindered our walk with You. Free us from carrying yesterday's pain into tomorrow's opportunities.
Teach us to learn from our experiences rather than be defined by them. Let the wounds of our past become lessons that help us grow in wisdom, compassion, patience, and grace. Help us become better husbands, better fathers, better mothers, better friends, and better servants because of what You have brought us through.
Give us eyes to see others who are struggling with similar hurts. Help us to extend the same compassion, mercy, and understanding that You have shown to us. May our scars become testimonies of Your healing power and our trials become tools that point others to Jesus.
Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to show us exactly what a perfect Father's love looks like. Through His life, His sacrifice, and His resurrection, we see Your heart clearly. Help us to trust You more each day and rest securely in Your love.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.

"Men may fail and walk away,
but God remains both night and day.
When earthly fathers miss their part,
the Father's love still heals the heart." - Rev

God Shows No Favorites
Scripture
"Truly I understand that God shows no partiality."
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to put people into categories?
We may not say it out loud, but sometimes we think, "That person would never come to Christ." We look at their appearance, their past, their attitude, their addictions, their politics, their lifestyle, or the patch on their back and quietly decide they're beyond hope.
Peter had to learn a hard lesson about that. For most of his life, Peter believed there were certain people God loved and certain people who were outsiders. Then God sent him to the home of a Roman centurion named Cornelius.
That was a shocking assignment.
Cornelius was a Gentile. He wasn't part of Peter's people. He came from a different culture and background. Yet God was already working in his heart before Peter ever arrived. When Peter saw what God was doing, he finally understood something that changed the course of history:
Acts 10:34 "Truly I understand that God shows no partiality."
God wasn't just saving Jews.
God wasn't just saving religious people.
God wasn't just saving people who looked the part.
God was opening the door of salvation to everyone.
Campfire Huddle
Most bikers have experienced this at some point.
You pull into a rally or charity ride and see every kind of motorcycle imaginable. Harleys, Indians, metrics, trikes, old bikes, new bikes. You'll see businessmen, mechanics, veterans, truck drivers, retirees, doctors, factory workers, and people who have been through more pain than most could imagine. At first glance, everyone looks different. But around the campfire, those differences start to disappear.
Stories get shared. Meals get eaten. Friendships get formed.
The Gospel goes even further.
At the foot of the cross, there are no VIP sections.
The wealthy stand beside the poor.
The addict stands beside the businessman.
The church kid stands beside the ex-con.
The biker stands beside the banker.
Every one of us comes the same way, through the blood of Jesus Christ.
God Looks at your Heart.
When Samuel was choosing Israel's next king, God reminded him:
1 Samuel 16:7 "For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."
This has been our verse at Triple Tree for 20+ years.
We tend to judge what we can see.
God sees what nobody else can see.
He sees the hurt behind the anger.
The loneliness behind the addiction.
The fear behind the pride.
The searching heart hidden beneath the rough exterior.
Many people looked at Saul of Tarsus and saw an enemy.
God saw the Apostle Paul.
Many people looked at a fisherman named Peter and saw an ordinary laborer.
God saw a preacher who would help change the world.
Many people looked at Cornelius and saw a Roman officer.
God saw a man ready to receive the Gospel.
Jesus Died for Everyone
The Bible repeatedly reminds us that God's invitation is open to all.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son..."
Not just one nation.
Not just one race.
Not just one social class.
The world.
Paul wrote:
Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free... for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Heaven itself will one day be filled with people from every background imaginable.
Revelation 7:9 "A great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages..."
That's the family God is building.
A Challenge for Us
Sometimes the greatest barrier to evangelism isn't the people. It is the “Christian" who thinks they have all the answers talking down to people who just need someone to listen or care.
It's when we quietly decide that certain people probably won't listen.
That certain groups aren't worth the effort.
That certain individuals are beyond saving.
But if God can save Saul, He can save anybody.
If God can save Cornelius, He can save anybody.
If God can save you and me, He can save anybody.
Who have you written off?
Who have you stopped praying for?
Who makes you uncomfortable?
Who might God already be preparing while you're assuming they'll never respond?
The next great testimony you hear may come from the person you least expect.
Really think about these questions.
Is there anyone I've unconsciously decided is beyond God's reach?
Do I judge people by their appearance, reputation, or past?
Who is God putting in my path this week that needs to hear about Jesus?
Am I willing to cross uncomfortable boundaries to share the Gospel?
Prayer
Father, thank You for showing mercy to people from every background and every walk of life. Thank You that You did not reject us because of our sins but welcomed us through Jesus Christ. Forgive us for the times we have judged others or limited what You can do in someone's life. Give us eyes to see people the way You see them. Open doors for us to share Your love with those around us this week. Help us remember that no one is beyond Your reach and no one is outside Your invitation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Remember This
The ground is level at the foot of the cross.

"Nobody Is Beyond God's Reach"
Main Scripture: Acts 9:15 (ESV) "But the Lord said to him, 'Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.'"
Most of us know someone who seems impossible.
Maybe it's a family member who wants nothing to do with God.
Maybe it's a biker brother who laughs when faith is mentioned.
Maybe it's someone who has hurt you so deeply that you cannot imagine them ever changing.
In Acts chapter 9, Saul was that man.
He wasn't searching for Jesus.
He wasn't attending church.
He wasn't asking spiritual questions.
He was hunting Christians.
Acts 9:1 says Saul was still "breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord."
If anyone looked beyond hope, it was Saul.
Yet God had other plans.
On the road to Damascus, Jesus stopped Saul in his tracks. A bright light from heaven knocked him to the ground, and he heard these words:
Acts 9:4 "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
In a single moment, everything changed.
The persecutor became a preacher.
The enemy became a brother.
The man trying to destroy the church became one of its greatest missionaries.
That should encourage every one of us.
Nothing is too hard for God.
The Lord declared long before this happened:
Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"
Sometimes we write people off.
God doesn't.
Sometimes we see their failures.
God sees their future.
Sometimes we see who they are.
God sees who they can become.
Think about an outlaw biker who has spent years running from God. Most people might see a rough exterior, a criminal record, broken relationships, and bad decisions.
God sees a potential testimony.
God sees a future disciple.
God sees a man or woman made in His image.
Never underestimate what God can do in a single moment of surrender.
But Acts 9 isn't only about Saul.
It's also about Ananias.
When God told Ananias to go meet Saul, he was terrified.
He knew Saul's reputation.
He knew Saul had come to arrest believers.
Yet God said:
Acts 9:15 (ESV) "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine."
Ananias obeyed.
Imagine how difficult that walk must have been.
Every step required faith.
Every step required trust.
Every step required obedience.
Many times God asks us to do things that don't make sense.
Forgive that person.
Make that phone call.
Share your testimony.
Pray for your enemy.
Serve someone who doesn't deserve it.
Like Ananias, we often see reasons not to obey.
God simply says, "Go."
Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
The greatest blessings often wait on the other side of obedience.
Then the chapter closes with Peter continuing God's work.
He heals Aeneas.
He raises Tabitha from the dead.
And many people turn to the Lord.
What a reminder that God is still working.
The same God who transformed Saul is still transforming lives today.
The same God who used Ananias is still calling ordinary believers today.
The same God who worked through Peter is still changing communities today.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
Maybe you're looking at a situation that seems impossible.
Maybe you're looking at yourself.
You may feel too broken.
Too old.
Too sinful.
Too far gone.
Acts 9 says otherwise.
Jesus specializes in impossible people.
After all, every Christian is a miracle of God's grace.

Is there someone in your life you've secretly given up on that God may still be pursuing?

Has God been asking you to take a step of obedience that you've been avoiding?
Are you allowing your past mistakes to define you more than God's promises?

Today, write down the name of one person who seems far from God. Pray specifically for them every day.
Then ask God to show you one act of obedience you've been postponing and take that step today.
Don't wait for perfect conditions.
Don't wait for perfect confidence.
Take the next faithful step.
God still changes lives.
And sometimes the next Saul is closer than you think.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the amazing grace You showed Saul on the road to Damascus. Thank You that no person is beyond Your reach and no situation is beyond Your power.
Help us see people through Your eyes instead of our own. Give us faith when circumstances seem impossible and courage when obedience feels uncomfortable.
Forgive us for the times we've doubted what You can do. Strengthen our trust in You and remind us that You are still changing hearts, restoring lives, and building Your Kingdom.
Use us like You used Ananias. Give us willing hearts and obedient feet. Help us become instruments in Your hands for the glory of Jesus Christ.
For anyone reading this who feels broken, discouraged, or unworthy, remind them today that Your grace is greater than their past and Your plans are bigger than their failures.
In Jesus' mighty name we pray,
Amen.

God Uses Detours
Acts 8:4 "Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word."
Nobody likes detours.
We make plans. We map out where we're headed. We expect the road ahead to be clear. Then suddenly life throws up a roadblock and everything changes.
Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps."
That's exactly what happened to the early believers.
Persecution broke out in Jerusalem, and Christians were forced to leave their homes and scatter across the region. To them, it probably felt like everything was falling apart. Their church family was being separated. Their lives were being turned upside down.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
God saw something they couldn't see.
What looked like a disaster was actually the beginning of a greater mission.
The enemy thought he was scattering Christians. God was planting missionaries.
Most bikers have experienced an unexpected detour. You're riding toward your destination when orange signs and barricades force you off the route you carefully planned. At first you're irritated. You wonder why this is happening. But sometimes that detour takes you down a beautiful back road, through a small town, or past a view you never would have seen otherwise.
Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Life works the same way.
Maybe you've lost a job. Maybe your health isn't what it used to be. Maybe a relationship ended. Maybe a door you were counting on suddenly slammed shut.
What if that detour isn't a punishment?
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
What if God is guiding you somewhere you never would have gone on your own?
Philip experienced that very thing. God sent him on what seemed like an unexpected assignment, and because he obeyed, an Ethiopian official heard the Gospel and gave his life to Christ. One man's willingness to follow God's detour changed another man's eternity.
The road you're on today may not look anything like the one you planned. But God has never lost sight of where He's taking you.
Sometimes the detour is the destination.
Sometimes the setback becomes the setup.
And sometimes the road we never wanted to travel becomes the road where we see God work the most.
Think About It This
• What unexpected detour are you facing right now?
• Could God be using this time in your life to accomplish something bigger than you can see?
• Are you willing to trust His direction even when it doesn't match your plans?
Remember
God's detours often lead exactly where His purpose needs us to be.
Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

An old biker once told me, "The road I dreaded riding ended up becoming my favorite ride." Looking back, most of us can say the same about life. The hardest seasons often became the places where God taught us the most, drew us closest, and used us most effectively.
Sometimes God doesn't remove the roadblock.
Sometimes He simply points to a different road and says, "Trust Me."
And years later we discover that the detour wasn't a mistake—it was the mission.

"When roads are rough and plans fall through, God's detours lead to something new." -Rev

Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being the God who sees the whole road when we can only see the next curve. Lord, there are times when life takes turns we never expected. Plans fall apart, doors close, health declines, finances get tight, relationships become strained, and we find ourselves traveling roads we never wanted to take.
Yet Your Word reminds us that You are still on the throne. Nothing catches You by surprise. What looks like a setback to us is often a setup for Your greater purpose. Just as You used persecution to spread the Gospel in Acts 8, help us trust that You can use every detour in our lives for Your glory and our good.
Father, strengthen those who are weary today. Encourage those who are discouraged. Give hope to those who feel lost or confused. Help us to stop focusing on the roadblocks and start looking to the One who directs our steps.
Teach us to trust You when we don't understand. Give us the faith to follow where You lead, even when the route doesn't make sense. Open our eyes to the opportunities You place before us and help us be willing to share Your love wherever You send us.
Lord, if You are using this season to position us for something greater, give us patient hearts and willing spirits. Help us remember that Your plans are always better than our own and that Your timing is always perfect.
May we walk by faith and not by sight. May we trust Your hand even when we cannot see Your purpose. And may every detour ultimately bring glory to Jesus Christ.
We ask these things in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
