Before anything else, God is a Father. This Father's Day message highlights how Jesus came to reveal the heart of the Father and invite us into a close, personal relationship with Him.

In any relationship, fruit is the natural byproduct of intimacy. This is also true of our union with Christ in that we are married to Him so that we can bear fruit to God. In this teaching, we'll discover three keys to abiding from John 15 that are necessary for bearing the quality and quantity of fruit that God intends.

Another result of having been declared righteous by faith is that we have access into grace. In today's teaching, you will learn that God has hidden grace just waiting for you to discover and how you can boldly access and receive all that He has made available for you.

Once you have been justified by faith, there are certain results due to that righteous standing that are now yours; all of which are made available through Christ.  In today's teaching, we look at the first of these effects, which is peace with God. Because of the absolute work that Christ did in satisfying God's wrath, God is not angry with you and His covenant of peace will never end. 

There is a dimension of grace called favor, that God visibly displays in His kindness toward us through Jesus Christ. While it will take all of eternity for the fullness of this favor to be unveiled, it is nonetheless being revealed to us right now. In today's teaching, we will look at several aspects of God's favor from the story of King David (a picture of Christ) in the kindness that he displayed to Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth.
