A Fathers Legacy (Tom Madden)

Favor -  A Practical Guide

Pastor Chad teaches that true success comes not from pursuing power or outward achievement, but from living a life that reflects God's character. Drawing from Proverbs 3, he explains that God's favor follows those who demonstrate steadfast love, faithfulness, humility, and genuine goodness. Using biblical examples such as Ruth, he shows that loyal love and integrity position believers to receive God's blessing, while pride, cynicism, and a mocking spirit repel God's favor. He concludes by challenging listeners to focus less on appearing successful and more on allowing the Holy Spirit to transform their character, trusting that when they pursue God's way, His favor and lasting success will naturally follow.

Favor - The #1 Killer of Favor

Using King Uzziah's life in 2 Chronicles 26, Pastor Chad taught that pride is the greatest threat to God's favor. While success and blessings can tempt us to rely on ourselves, humility keeps us dependent on God and open to His grace. True humility grows through worship as our focus shifts from ourselves to God's holiness, allowing His favor and presence to remain at work in our lives.

Favor - The Church With Favor

Pastor Chad challenged the church to see success not by attendance or programs, but by how effectively it spreads the Word of God. Drawing from the book of Acts and reflecting on a recent mission trip to Spain, he showed how God used the early church to overcome growth, persecution, and changing ministry needs so that the gospel continued to increase, multiply, spread throughout entire regions, and ultimately prevail. He called believers to embrace their identity as citizens of God's Kingdom, to pray fervently, disciple others, raise up new leaders, and view their own community as a mission field, urging the church to become a launching pad for sending people to proclaim the gospel until the Word of God transforms lives, cities, and nations.

A Fathers Legacy (Tom Madden)

Guest Speaker Tom Madden teaches that the greatest legacy a father can leave is not wealth, success, or achievement, but a life devoted to God that influences future generations. Drawing from the lives of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, he warns of the consequences of drifting from God while encouraging fathers to lead their families in faith, prioritize the house of God, and model the love of the Heavenly Father. He concludes by reminding listeners that God can use one committed person to spark revival and leave a lasting spiritual legacy.

Favor - Joseph

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not measured by outward success, but by God’s presence in our lives. Through Joseph’s story, he explains that God remains with us through seasons of hardship, uses trials to develop our character, faithfully delivers us from affliction, and ultimately works His purposes in ways we could never accomplish on our own. The message reminds believers that God’s favor is a shield around them and that every victory is ultimately the result of God’s hand at work, not their own strength.
