Heb.12:5- And have you forgotten his encouraging words spoken to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t underestimate the value of the discipline and training of the Lord God, or get depressed when he has to correct you. That really goes without saying, no one likes to be disciplined. The times we live …
IMAGE OF HIS FATHER
Jn.14:8-10 - Philip spoke up, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be all that we need!” Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time and you still don’t know who I am? How could you ask me to show you the Father, for anyone who has looked at me has seen …
FATHER
Matt.6:26 - Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? The Lord’s prayer has been the daily bread for the church for 2000 years. From Jesus to Augustine, from Luther to Spurgeon, …
KISSED BY THE FATHER
LK.15:20 - And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. I think many people get the wrong idea about religious people, especially the Puritans from long, long ago. They …
THE FATHER’S BLESSING
Acts 1:4,5 ¶ And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now”. Not every one admits …
OUR GOD
Psa. 67:5,6 Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. I think sometimes we may have a strange idea of praying to the Lord for help. We ask Him for all sorts of things, everything from …
CREATOR OF ALL THINGS
He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. Jn.1:2,3 Paul talked about what he called "the mystery of godliness". He was trying to comprehend the unthinkable, the Creator somehow entered His creation. That mystery is the glory of Christmas, the word …
NEW AND LIVING WAY
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 1 JOHN 1:3 When you ask people today why Jesus died on the cross people will always say something like, “to wash away …
I AM IN HIM, YOU ARE IN ME, AND I AM IN YOU
John 14:20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. This was one of the first passages I was asked to memorize in my Bible School days. It is one of those simple, yet profound teachings of Jesus. He was able to say …

FATHER OF LIGHT
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. There is a river of cascading light flowing down from the Father above. He is the fountainhead and giver of all life. This river of …
