Bishop Mukemi's sermon on 'Elkanah: A model father' drew from 1 Samuel 1:1-6 and Ephesians 6:4. Elkanah, a man with two wives, exemplified qualities of a model father by comforting his barren wife, setting an example of worship, and offering guidance in God's ways to his family. The reference to Ephesians highlighted the vital role of fathers in raising children with discipline and spiritual instruction. In essence, the sermon emphasized how men should emulate Elkanah's dedication to nurturing their families' faith and well-being, underscoring the importance of fathers in shaping their households through love, worship, and guidance in the path of the Lord.
