Father, Who Are You?

Summary:
Both Adam and Jesus were “Sons” of God
His desire is to be our Father, “Our Father, who art in Heaven...”
God’s love is far above anything we as humans understand
God’s family is a truly functional family,
We want to eliminate the “religious” thinking of who God is and
find the experiential relationship with our Father

Show notes:
• When a person accepts Jesus as their Lord and savior, this
begins the relationship of the Father, Jesus, and the Holy
Spirit in our life.
• We reach the Father going through Christ. He is the only
door.
• Your relationship with the Father is so special, so precious ,
so inviting, peaceful, it ministers the fruit of the Spirit.
• We come just as we are, believing that He will receive me
and love me because I am His son.
• Human relationships and love dry up without a connection to
the source of love.
• Our hopes, aspirations, and dreams will turn to ashes
without the foundation of the Lordship of Jesus, and people
will argue with this statement but look at the world today.
