The Father's Comfort
Comfort is a major theme throughout the Bible. I don't believe it is a topic we study, rather it is a powerful emotion we experience. Comfort heals our broken heart, it deals with our trauma and grief, and it sets our heart free to live in the glorious freedom of the sons of God.
Going Deeper
A series of study notes to help take you deeper into Father's love. These can either be used individually or as part of a group discussion. You are very welcome to download these as many times as necessary.
In Christ
In Paul's letters, he uses this phrase a number of times. He is not, however, introducing a new teaching but is simply building on the foundation which Jesus laid. In John 14, Jesus explains to his disciples that he is in the Father, the Father is in him and we are drawn into this oneness and union. When we understand, in our hearts, that we are 'in Christ' we will start to live from a heavenly perspective.
A Season of Shaking
A time of change is often a season when things are shaken. When change comes we live in an unshakeable kingdom if we are rooted and grounded in love. Change challenges our structures and purifies our hearts.
The Price of Love
In our pursuit of the Father and his love for us we must not make the error of devaluing the price he paid to restore our relationship with him. This article addresses the growing distraction of universal salvation and shows how it is not rooted in Scripture.
Living from a Free Heart
How can we live our daily lives being fathered by our Heavenly Father? This article will take you through practical aspects of living and growing in Father's love, particularly after something like INS.
Reverse Culture Shock
Very often when we return home from an exciting trip away we go through the experience of reverse culture shock. The most important thing is to be able to live in the ongoing Homecoming experience where your heart hears the Father speak to you - "you are my beloved son or daughter".
The Greatest Of These Is Love
Paul tells us at the end of 1 Corinthians 12 that there is a more excellent way and that is the way of love. I think it's easy to misinterpret that and think we have to be loving or that it's something else we have to do. This article shows how we can pursue the 'most excellent way' and live in love.
