To fully appreciate what Jesus did for us, we must understand what was lost in the fall. Jesus, the last Adam came to restore what the first Adam lost. Jesus came to restore us back into sonship. It's in experiencing Father's love that we are fully restored. 

We had the privilege of having Tracy Evans with us this Sunday. It was a great time of realizing that God will use anyone who makes themself available to Him. God's plan and dream for our life is bigger than our and it is so much better. This was a great message of encouragement.  

The type of father we grew up with can impact how we look at our Heavenly Father. It can be the lens that we look at God through. This is a message about how to break out of that and begin to see God the Father as He really is.

Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (scripture, observation, application, prayer) from their personal devotions. 

Jesus introduced God Almighty as FATHER. Jesus came to bring us into a Father/Son relationship with God. The last Adam came to restore what the first Adam lost. God created man so that He could have a family. This message is about responding to God's desire to father us.  

As believers, our foundation must be the Word of God. It is the source of truth. We must build our lives on the truth of God's Word. The truth about anything is what God says about it. Facts and Truth may disagree, but ultimately the Truth will prevail. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words abide forever." 

Jesus came to restore back our sonship with the Father. He said, "No one come to the Father, except through me." It's as we experience the Father's Love that the orphan mindset is broken off of our lives. It's one thing to know that the Father loves you, but it's another thing to experience that love. God desires that we experience His love in our lives. 

This service begins with a word from God about what He is about to do and how to not miss it. A couple people shared SOAPs (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer). 

The New Covenant was always God's plan to restore us back to sonship. Jesus came to be THE WAY to the Father (John 14:6). He came to bring us back into sonship with Father God. This New Covenant changes everything. 

God is a Father. He has gone to great lengths to make us His children. It's out of our relationship with the Father that our identity flows. The New Covenant is designed to restore to us what was lost in the fall.
