    Four family privilges we receive when we become God’s children through faith in Jesus Christ.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a drama called "Love of Another Kind" and a song called "Faithful Father"). The reality is that not all fathers are faithful. My father wasn’t faithful.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more
