Fathers Who Fight

Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Timothy (Paul's farewell words) to encourage fathers to be priority-driven rather than results-driven. He argues that fatherhood often yields mixed outcomes ('results may vary'), so dads should focus on controllable inputs: loving God first, casting a clear family vision, and fighting the right fights. Using practical illustrations (family routines, a written family creed, Pablo Picasso’s use of scraps), he shows how God redeems brokenness when fathers keep their eyes on Jesus. The sermon closes with a call to perseverance: the prize is for those who finish the race by faithfully prioritizing what matters.

““Don't worry about the current results. Worry about what you can control. Focus on your priorities.””9:14 · Noah Herrin

Take it with you

Practical takeaways: 1) Make loving God non‑negotiable - model consistent devotion so your kids see where you go first. 2) Write and communicate a simple family vision/values statement so your family has a direction to follow. 3) Choose your battles - fight the ‘good fight’ (what aligns with God's priorities), and persist even when results vary. Bring brokenness to God; He can redeem what feels like failure.
