    How do we know we are children of God? By the testimony of the Spirit of God. The paternity test for being a child of God is evidenced by the Spirit of God within us.

Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their ...read more

    Father's Day: Either gaining or missing the paternal blessing (or parental blessing) has a profound affect on our life, especially in having a positive or negative relationship with others. Without it we are destined to a life of problems.

    Turn with me to Genesis 48:8-16. We will begin our message this morning by standing in honor of the reading of God’s Word: 8 Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?” 9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring ...read more

    We are presented with two choices: so accept God as our Father, or to affiliate with the father of lies.

    Let us pray. Heavenly Father, you have chosen the weak things of this world to shame the strong: send your Holy Spirit to enliven my words, and to open our ears, that your Word may fall as seed upon good ground, prepared for planting and ready to yield a good fruit; we ask this in the Name of the ...read more

    We are no good to anyone else unless first we have experienced cleansing. That rules out maternalistic protection or paternalistic inhibition. When we know we are cleansed, then we are useful to others.

    I am beginning today a series of messages on the theme, "How He Helped Humanity." "How He Helped Humanity." The idea behind this is very simple, but it branches out in many different ways. The basic idea is that we are working toward becoming a helping church, a servant people. But we need ...read more

    based on 68 ratings
     | 5,864 views

    The will of God, as it is relates to man, is manifested in three basic expressions: sovereign, conditional and paternal. Each uniquely depicts His dealings with, and His relationship to, man in particular and His entire creation in general.

    Rebekah, mother of Esau and Jacob, wanted Jacob to have the paternal blessing which Isaac was going to bestow on Esau. She developed a plan for Jacob to get it--and they went through with it. Results? Bad!

Now, with his mother Rebekah’s help, he was about to swindle his father, Isaac, out of Esau’s blessing. Jacob got the blessing, but he lost more than ever ...read more
