The Kind of Father God Is

Dr. Rocky Ramsey dives deep into scripture to show us the true nature of our Heavenly Father. Jesus introduced us to God as “our Father,” and Psalm 103 reveals nine defining traits of His character: compassion, grace, patience, forgiveness, understanding, generosity, and more. This message challenges how we view parenting—and how we relate to God.

Whether you're a parent looking for a model, someone healing from a broken relationship, or simply longing to know God's heart, this message will bring hope and clarity.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children...
