Contributed by Ernie Arnold on Oct 14, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: 3rd in a series of God's Name - God as Father
Our Heavenly Father knows our thoughts, our hopes and our dreams. He knows our weakness, our frailties and our propensity to continuously mess up.
He does not abandon us to the pig pen nor does he allow us to sit down and just sulk.
No, our God – Our Father God – our Heavenly Father – not only rescues us and redeems us but makes a way for us to:
Enjoy the still waters of being in His Presence
Enjoy the knowledge of being under His Care
Enjoy the reality that we are His and as His children we shall forever drink from the fountain of everlasting life and eat from the Tree of Everlasting Life.
This morning as we close let us focus on exactly who Our Heavenly Father is
+He is the One who loves us despite our conditions
He seeks to rescue everyone from a life of sin and shame. In fact, Our Heavenly Father specializes in rescuing and redeeming those who sin and evil have marred, twisted and tried to destroy.
+He is the One who will help us live the best life possible here on this earth and on the New Heaven and New Earth some day in the future.
No matter where we are in this life – with God’s help we can live a life that is more than unbelievable. God can make it possible for us to sing in the prison cell like the Apostle Paul, have peace in the lion’s den like Daniel and find joy and happiness as we leave Moab and travel to the Promise Land like Ruth and Naomi.
This morning, we have no better friend than Our Heavenly Father.
Today:
Rejoice that God is Your Father
+He loves you – Seeks You - Is full of Mercy and Grace
+Never Abandons You – Prodigal or Self-Righteous
+Wants You to Work with Him
-To Enjoy Your Life
As His Child
As One He has Rescued and Redeemed and Filled with His Holy Spirit
Closing Song – listen to CeCe Winas – That’s My King
