Brokenness is a very valuable commodity in the Kingdom. The sacrifice that God is looking for is a broken and contrite heart (Psalm51:17). Our brokenness is what positions us to be dependent upon God. Our brokenness is what allows God to use us.  

The garden that we are each responsible to steward is our own heart. We alone are the one who chooses what we allow to grow in that garden. We need to sow the good seed of God's Word into our own hearts and pull any weeds that are growing. If we don't, the weeds will choke out the good seed of God's Word (Mark 4:19).  

This is the last in the series on the Father's Love. This message focuses on John 15 and learning to abide in Christ. It's out of abiding in Christ that we are launched into seasons of fruitfulness.

There are two kinds of knowledge. The first is sense knowledge that comes to us through our five physical senses. The second is revelation knowledge that comes to us from God. The Bible gives us revelation knowledge. This is a message about how LOGOS becomes RHEMA in our life. 

In Luke 15, Jesus illustrates through three different stories, just how valuable lost people are to God. The last story also illustrates how the orphan mindset can be expressed through rebellion (the prodigal son) but also through religion (the elder brother). God wants to free us by experiencing His love, from orphan thinking and orphan living. 

This message focuses on where the Father's love will take us. It is designed to take us into our identity and the Spirit-filled life. Which chair are you sitting in? The chair of a son or the chair of a servant. The chair of performance or the chair of faith.

Experiencing the Father's Love is the answer to so many things. This message is about breaking away from responding to life from an orphan mindset by experiencing the Father's Love. The Father loves us and wants us to experience His love.
