Sermons About Children-of-god
children of God
childish or childlike? It has been said that "God has no Grandchildren only Children". Everyone who wants to be a child of God must come into His family the same way. There must be a spiritual rebirth in order to have new life. God wants you to be his child, he wants his children to live for him and to love like him.

Family Wisdom
Living in a day when everything related to the family seems up for grabs, it’s time for God’s people to come back to the basic instructions regarding the family unit. In this message we will look at the fundamental directives that are given both to children and to parents – specifically dads! (yep, the primary responsibility for raising godly children isn’t primarily that of the school or the youth director, and not even mom, but dear old dad).

The Great Things of God
Since arriving in Garner to plant Sovereign King Church, I have had what I will call a holy despair. Let me explain that because "holy" and "despair" seem to be contradictory. You see, I don't want when it is all said and done, for Sovereign King to launch and have everything we need (buildings, youth ministries, great music, etc), and God not do something great among us. It is quite possible for us to have a great building, an incredible ministry to all ages and stages of life and have rocking, professional level music, and we never come close to sniffing great things for God. When I look into the coming year, I see a bunch of those things becoming reality. This will be the year Sovereign King will become financially self-sufficient, and we will begin looking towards greater platforms for ministry. More than likely, we will not finish 2009 in the same building that we are in now. I imagine we will build on the efforts of Children's Church and the events we did this past summer, and our children's/youth activities will flourish and become much more consistent. And the temptation of our hearts when all of those things happen is to think that we have arrived, that the goal has been accomplished, God has blessed us, and the central struggle is over. Do not, and I repeat, do not give in that type of thinking. If we have those things, and I pray we do, that does not mean that God is doing great things with us. And I pray and plead to God and to you for great things. We are in dangerous territory because at least in our culture, those very good things (financially stability, good facilities, great music) can actually be enemies of great things because we see them, we grow complacent, and lose our desire for the great things of God. This week, as we return to the book of I John, I want us to ask, "What do the great things of God look like?"

Adoption: A Good Reason To Cry "Abba Father"
Romans 8:15 As children of God, we should no longer live on this earth to seek our own agenda, but to seek the agenda of the Lord. He has purchased this right with His sacrificial blood. What is more significant to us, however, is that through this purchase the Lord has in essence 'adopted' those who He calls His own - His children. And, this adoption is not as much a physical adoption as it is a spiritual one. Adoption by God is also something very personal in that He makes us members of His family. It is perhaps the highest blessing bestowed by God upon His children because through it He offers a deeper relationship with Him. It is by His grace that we are not simply made children of God, but we become children desired by Him. As great as God's blessing of forgiveness is, this is undoubtedly greater because it is founded on His infinite love. With a proper understanding of what it means to be spiritually adopted, we can more effectively live out our priviledge as children of Christ. And we should do so because we are not merely His children, but inheritors of His kingdom - considered by Him sons and daughters of the Lord!
