Often times approval happens after a time that we would describe as one of testing. When we are stretched or tested, it shows where we stand with God and whether or not we are worthy of being stamped as approved by Him. Here's the great part though - it's only through the work of our Heavenly Father that we can overcome the tests we experience in life!

Even though Jesus is the Son of God, His approval by God came through His obedience to His Father! Unfortunately for Jesus, His obedience came through suffering, but fortunately for us through His obedience we are forgiven!

Tests are no fun, whether in school or in life. However, on the other end of that test you get results. Pass or fail we can grow from testing in our lives and ultimately we are looking for God to stamp us as "Approved"!

If we're looking at the Biblical significance of Israel, we can't ignore what Scripture says about the future of the nation of Israel and why that's important for us as Christ followers.

Our heritage is important to us - it influences who we are and what is important to us! This morning we get into the why the heritage of Jesus is so important to who He is as the Messiah and the Son of God!

The importance of the nation of Israel is a large part of the narrative of Scripture, but why? At the end of the day, the people of Israel were in fact God's Chosen People - this morning we look at the story of His people.

One of the more intimidating parts of being a Christian can be the thought of sharing your faith with others. While a little scary at times, God has given us the tools we need to share what He is doing in our lives with others. Today we are encouraged through Scripture to do just that!

It's amazing to see the shape the call of God takes in our lives and ultimately where and when it leads us. Today we pray you are encouraged to see what God is doing in the lives of people all around and how we can be involved in that process as a church!

Join us as we celebrate dad this morning!
