The Playground - The Ghetto - The Child And His Dad

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 20, 2021

The difference was plain as day! It was a quick trip to the park on a Saturday evening. Nothing major, just a few minutes with the family to get out the hyper-activity. I didn’t notice it right away, but once it sank in, there was no stopping the waves of sadness, frustration, and anger.

Sermon # 36- Privileges Of A Child Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025

The greatest privilege to anyone who puts their faith is Jesus is that we become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As children of God we approach God with the confidence that we can pray to Him and draw near to Him knowing that He is merciful and gracious to us.

The Father's Lavish Love

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 9, 2008

To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).

I remember the pastor of our church sharing one time that becoming a father was the greatest help for his theology, that is, for his understanding of God. He knew up here [pointing to head] that God loved him, but when he had a child he began to understand more in here [heart] that God has the ...read more

Faith Leads To Maturity Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 27, 2009

Relying on external law is the bondage of slavery. Jesus redeemed us from the law & made us heirs of God. The Christian does not need to wait to enjoy the riches of Christ. If he is a son then he is an heir.

GALATIANS 4:1-7 FAITH LEADS TO MATURITY [Romans 8:15-17] One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer away from a spiritual dependance upon God. The Galatian Christians, like most believers, wanted to grow and go ...read more
