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: 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: 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.

Adopted: Heavenly Family VALUES

October 29, 2023 • Elder Mike Dixon

We all have practices and values which come from our family of origin. But now that we are resurrected to life in the family of Jesus Christ, it is essential that we discover and practice these seven values of our heavenly family. Without them, we will be ineffective and unproductive in our earthly assignments.
