Adopted -- Living The Resurrected Life

October 8, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Brown

When we respond to the love of the Father with rebellion or religion, there’s a word for that — individualism. Individualism (rebellion/religion) is a result of the fall; it says we don’t need you Lord God we can do it on our own. We can do life on our own terms fulfilling our own desires. But resurrection life/to be born again through faith in Christ says the opposite. Resurrection life says, we need you Lord God and we have found there’s truly no life outside of the feast and celebration of your love.

Adopted: The Family Of God

November 19, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Brown

There is no greater evidence that we are children of God than our living together as family. We can not say that we have received and experienced the love of the Father until we’ve given ourselves to love one another. If we’ve been adopted by the Father, we’ve been called to adopt one another as family — The Family of God. Scripture(s):

Adopted - Suffering And The Glory Of God

November 12, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Brown

If we are born-again, we’re joint-heirs with Christ — we’ve been made one with Him. We now live, move and we have our being in Him. No longer do we look to the fallen world as our source of love, peace, fulfillment and joy. We have found that in Christ — although we are in the world it is no longer our source. This life of “in but not of” brings with it suffering. But the suffering it brings isn’t worthy to be compared to the glory that is and shall be revealed.

Adopted: I’m A Child Of God

November 5, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Brown

There is no greater distinction or identity that a human being can have than to be a child of God. We can make no greater contribution to humanity, to this world or to our families than to live as a child of God. But we can not make ourselves His, only Christ can do that — we’ve been given the work of agreeing with, what He says about us.
