“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).
Are believers servants of God, children of God, or both?In this episode of Leadership TKO, Dr. Lakeisha McKnight explores the biblical difference between living as a servant and living as a child of God. Many Christians serve faithfully yet struggle to understand their position in Christ and the spirit of adoption described in Scripture.This teaching unpacks what sonship means, how identity shapes obedience, and why understanding your position as a child of God transforms leadership, confidence, and spiritual maturity.If you've ever wondered what it truly means to be adopted into God's family and how that differs from a servant mentality, this episode offers clear biblical insight and practical application.---------Video version of the podcast: https://youtu.be/jiZ8JAdwI40 Connect with Dr. Lakeisha McKnight for wellness resources and weekly inspiration:www.lakeishamcknight.com/wellnessJoin the Kingdom Women Fitness & Wellness Inner Circle on Facebook:facebook.com/groups/kingdomwellnessinnercircleLeadership TKO: Empowering Kingdom Women to grow in wellness, leadership, and lifestyle transformation from the inside out.

ADVENT WEEK 4 - CHRISTMAS Share real hope with your family, friends, and community! - Hope 103.2 (hope1032.com.au) He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

As Christ followers, we KNOW that it is fundamental that our Identity has to be placed in Jesus Christ, but is it…. really? What does that fully mean & why is rightfully placing our identity in Jesus Christ, just so vital?These are all the things we unpack in today's episode! So whether you've struggled with your worth, your past, have held onto shame or even failure, or tend to place your identity in relationships, your career, your finances or even yourself, there is something here for you today. My hope is that God would open our eyes to where were truly at with all of this. And most importantly, we'd get a greater understanding of what God & His word says about who we are and not the world and boldly walk in it.Songs to listen to on IdentityChild of GodWho You Say I AmYou Say For More InfoWebsiteInstagram
This message on 1 John 3:4-10 was preached by our brother Matthew Hunter. It was delivered at our Lord's Day Morning Worship. This is sermon 8 in our expository series in 1 John. If you have any comments or questions we would love to hear from you. Please email us on: pastor@gbcb.org.uk
Jesus Christ made it very clear that a person needed to be born again to have a relationship with God. We all had a physical birth, but we need a spiritual birth to enter into the realm of heaven where God is. The most famous conversation in the Bible about the new birth is the talk that Jesus had with a teacher of the Jews, Nicodemus. Jesus said, “You must be born again.” This week's message takes up three basic and vital elements in any true conversion story – that is, for a person who has been born again.
Exploring your responsibility as a child of God, drawing insights from Psalm 132:14 (NKJV). Learn what it means to live faithfully, embrace your calling, and walk in God's purpose for your life. Gain practical guidance and spiritual encouragement to strengthen your faith journey.
In this message from the Happy God series, we explore the Father heart of God through Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. Many of us struggle to believe God is pleased with us, often trading sonship for shame or behavior management. But Jesus reveals a Father who runs, restores, and rejoices over His children. This sermon invites us to move from slavery to sonship and to see God not through the lens of our sin, but through the eyes of His love.

On this Ninth Day of Christmas, Father Jonathan Meyer reflects on a question that echoes through every generation: Who are you? Drawing from today's Gospel (John 1:19–28), we hear John the Baptist refuse to define himself by titles or roles—and instead point us toward our true identity. You are not your job. You are not your worst day. You are not your failures. You are a child of God—loved, worthy, created with purpose, and not finished yet because God is not finished with you. This reflection connects beautifully with the questions posed in Decision Point: Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you going? Take time today to wrestle with this question. Everything else in life is built upon it.

What exactly does Jesus is the Son of God mean? Does is just mean biological descendent?
Every Child of God has access to three realms of influence: Heavenly, Spiritual, and Temporal. Christian life is not defined by religious routines but by active participation in God's will for the world. While fellowship with God's people is vital, it is not the ultimate purpose of life; rather, believers are sent into the world, not to escape it, but to fulfill their calling in family, church, and society. The message warns against idolizing church attendance or seeking earthly utopias, instead calling for a disciplined, Spirit-led life marked by prayer, Scripture, and intentional service, grounded in the conviction that true discipleship requires balancing responsibility across all spheres of life while remaining anchored in the spiritual realm.

How is this Advent season inviting you to be childlike? Today's Gospel (Luke 10:21–24) reminds us that Jesus reveals His deepest mysteries not to the “wise and learned,” but to the childlike. In this reflection, we look at what it truly means to be a child of God — innocent, curious, trusting, creative, and full of faith. As we think about choir concerts, children's plays, wrapping gifts, and the wonder of the season, we're invited to rediscover that same childlike heart within ourselves.
Have you ever thought about what "walking worthy of our calling" should look like in practical terms? Is it in keeping a strict moral standard? Presenting a "good witness" to society? Giving benevolently to those less fortunate than us? Paul may startle you with his answer in Ephesians 5. Is the church getting it right? Or are we missing the boat?" Listen as Julie Coleman presents the sure-fire ways, we can demonstrate our commitment to the Lord, to each other and to the world.

In this week's episode I am encouraging you to walk in the authority of who you are in Christ. As a child of God you have all the authority given to you by God. We have so many kingdom benefits and so many of us are not walking in them. Our identity in Christ is the key to embracing who God has created us to be. Once you realize you are chosen by God you can fully show up with a confidence and boldness and that includes how you pray as well. Let's walk in our authority today!!I have a FREE resource for you!!

1 John 3 pt1 - Sin and Child Of God by Ray Jensen
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 10th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. The Book of Acts 7:51 - this is Steven speaking just before they stoned him to death.“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.” I want to speak about being stiff-necked. Folks, we must be so careful about that one. To be stiff-necked is to be stubborn, to be rebellious, to be disobedient, refusing to listen, not obeying the word of God. To be rigid and obstinate sounds terrible, doesn't it? That's what a stiff-necked person is like.I've got a son on the farm here and he specialises in training horses that are a trouble to their riders. They send the horse here for three or four months, and he schools them correctly, and one of the hardest things that he has to deal with is a horse that has got a stiff neck. The horse refuses to bend its neck. Now he has to teach it to bend its neck and basically to humble itself so that it can respond to instructions. I don't know how much you know about a horse, but I want to tell you that if a horse has got a stiff neck and it starts to gallop away with you, and it gets the bit in its mouth, it is totally out of control. It cannot see where it is going because its head is in the air. It is a danger to itself and to the rider, and by the way to any passersby, any pedestrians. That horse will run over the edge of a cliff, no problem, run through a barbed wire fence. I've seen it myself because it refuses to listen. I know people like that, people who have hurt themselves terribly because they refuse to say sorry, they refuse to change, and they refuse to listen. The children of Israel were like that. Our Father God in heaven spoke about them as being a stiff-necked people and it cost them severely.Today, you and I, let us start to become soft, pliable, teachable, people who are pleasant to be around. Those are the people who have lots of friends. Don't be standing in the corner like that stiff-necked horse that refuses to change. By the way, if it doesn't change, it has to be put down because it becomes a danger to all those around it. Do not be like that. Today, be a child of God and then God will use you. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.

What does adoption reveal about the heart of God? Scripture calls us to care for the orphaned and vulnerable as a reflection of God's love for us. Listen in as we explore how, in Christ, we've been chosen and adopted into God's family.
We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.
