    Sermon # 36- Privileges Of A Child Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 501 views

    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.

    Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 3:26, “It is through faith that all of you are God's children in union with Christ Jesus.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse explains to us that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus Christ are children of God. We have the blessed privilege of being ...read more

    Jesus begins His public teaching ministry not in a temple, but on a hillside. The crowds gather. The disciples sit close. And the Lord opens His mouth to speak words that turn the world upside down.

    I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

     | 333 views

    Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

    I will never forget the moment when someone I loved looked at me and said, “I need to find myself.” I can still remember the quality of the light in the room, the strange hush in the air, the way those four words seemed to rearrange the furniture of my life in an instant. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ...read more

    The Father runs toward wandering children with restoring love, covering shame, celebrating repentance, and welcoming every prodigal home with joy and resurrection life.
