We are a Family Leading People to a Life-Transforming Relationship with God

How?

We can talk the talk, but how do we get it done?

Imagine with me people who discovering our Father, and they discover just how much that He loves them!

Could this lead to a transformation in their life? Could this lead to them discovering everything they have been looking for?

So to answer the how, we must understand what we Value.

The values that we have come from our DNA, they are who we are.

I.e. The town of Perry, Ok has valued its wrestling program, look at the results. State Championships!

Core Value-We have a Father who loved, so He Created Children.

WE HAVE A FATHER WHO LOVES US AND ARE HIS CHILDREN.

Our Father has fully accepted us!

We don’t need to walk in the fear of being good enough to His children.

The Holy Spirit is crying out to us that we are God’s beloved children.

v.19-The entire universe is standing tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters. Passion Translation

I believe the world today is looking for something! Something that will bring peace, something that will stop the fighting, something that will fill what is missing in their heart, something that will heal their heart.

There are people who are screaming in there minds “is this really all that there is?”

So what is the churches response?

So much of our response has been to scream at them to turn from their sin and there wicked ways. While this is a true statement we are missing it.

It’s like cleaning a fish before you catch it.

So what happens is we have some who accept Christ, but they are always trying to prove there worth. They are going to heaven, but they are not free.

So what do we do? What is the answer?

As Children find your Father! When you find the Father you will begin to think like a child of God instead of a slave.

Thinking like a child will change your heart, this will change your language, this will change how you pray, how you receive from our Father.

So it changes how you present the truth of the Gospel.

Like a Child

Mark 10:13–16 NLT

13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. 14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

How did you receive the Kingdom of God?

I recieved it as an unworthy person who has gracefully been given a second chance. (This is what I believe the disciples saw the Kingdom and so only those mature enough could come to Jesus.)

Jesus said to receive the Kingdom of God “Like a Child.”

Wow! have WE missed it!

We must receive the Kingdom as a Child of God.

A child who says this is it! This is what I have been looking for!

A Child who knows they have found the Father!

The Core of what We Believe is that we have a Father who created Children Because He is Love!
