Children of God

July 10, 2016 Speaker: David Humes Series: Missions Month

Passage: 1 John 3:1–3

God’s word is filled with surprising statements. One of those statements is found in the text upon which this morning’s sermon is based. In the text we will be considering, I John 3:1-3, the Apostle John calls us to marvel at the love God has shown us by calling us children of God. Why does John do this? Why does he call us to consider God’s love based on the fact that He calls us children of God? Well, the reason is simple: Even though being called God’s children is a big deal, we don’t realize how big a deal it really is. The goal of today’s message is to help us to see how big a deal this really is.
