Every father has the potential to leave a lasting legacy. His hope is to pass on to the next generation those tributes that will make a difference in the world. But does this just happen? Or is there strategy behind it?
In this special Father’s Day weekend message, Pastor Ed Young welcomes special guests Willie and Korie Robertson from the hit television show “Duck Dynasty”. Together, they help us understand the purpose God has for every family and the dynasty every dad can build!

Please be seated for just a couple of moments. You know, as I said earlier, these folks have definitely brought camouflage to the forefront. And I was thinking as I was researching camouflage, how old is camouflage? And a lot of people say camouflage is like 200 years old, some say maybe 150 years old. Wrong. Do you know who wore the first camouflage? Adam and Eve. You remember? They were in the Garden, they were naked, had no shame in their game. Then they decided to rebel against God. The Bible says that they understood, they realized they were naked so what did they do? The Scripture says they took a needle and thread and they sewed fig leaves together to cover their nakedness. We’ve been doing that, haven’t we, ever since? Trying to cover our shame, our guilt, our nakedness. Camouflage, camouflage.
Yet, if you really think about it there is no way we can sew our way to God. We’ve tried to sew our way to God. And all the world religious, study them, they’re basically sewing contests. “I’ll sew this and sew that. I can cover my guilt, my shame, my nakedness.”
At the end of the day, though, questions remain. At the end of the day, though, we’re still naked. And we use pleasure and possessions and fun and all that to try to cover our nakedness, yet we have a clothing issue. We’ve got a clothing issue. Camo Couture. What’s what I’m calling this two-week series.
