YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS; YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE DESTINY IN GOD'S KINGDOMA. EVERY HUMAN BEING BORN IN THIS EARTH HAS A DESTINYMen, deep down in their hearts, have the questions, ‘Who are we? Where did we come from? What are we doing in this planet spinning around in space?

Every person, no exceptions, every person born, came into this life, full of light, and promises and destiny and seeded with greatness, until sin began to cloud over his soul.2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.John 1:12 ‘As many as receive Him, to them gave He the power to become SONS OF GOD, to those that believe on His name.'Until next timeStay in the BlessingsI really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!You're important to God, and you're important to us at The Refinery.When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.So whatever you're concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!

All Christians are children of God but not all can make the claim to be sons of God. A son of God is a Christian who led by the Holy Spirit and is a mature Christian. Oftentimes Christians think being Spirit led is being hyper spiritual when a Spirit led person is the Christian who is mature in their walk with the Lord. Romans 8:12-17
Genesis 6:1-4 is not an easy text. Those verses talk about the "sons of God" as well as the Nephilim.In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will provide answers to three questions based on Genesis 6. One, who are the sons of God: men or fallen angels? Two, does the book of Enoch shed light on the interpretation of Genesis 6? Three, who are the Nephilim and what do they have to do with the sons of God?In answering these questions biblically, Dr. Sadaphal will also explain three basic principles on Bible interpretation.
P.581 The Glorious Liberty of the Sons of God By Apostle Grace Lubega
P.581 The Glorious Liberty of the Sons of God By Apostle Grace Lubega
Genesis 4 reveals that every societal collapse begins with the same ancient lie of Cain: rejecting God's substitute and trusting our own goodness instead.
IntroductionPeople bring criticism against the Reformed people's love for doctrine. People claim that if you go to a Reformed church, you will see that we are people concerned with the head, not the heart. That our catechisms and confessions are cold documents. These are documents fueling intellectual exercises that keep doctrine tidy but leave the soul unmoved. That we know about God without actually knowing him.The Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 13, communicates to us that God is very personal. In fact, we are brought into the Lord's family. We are adopted as sons for the sake of our faithful Savior. We were the estranged children who had been brought near to God through the faithful son. So, is it fair to say that we are people who love doctrine and not the Lord? Is it fair to say that the Reformed faith makes one distant in relation to God? Children by AdoptionThe catechism is careful to distinguish between Christ's sonship and ours. Christ is the Son from eternity who is not created, not adopted, but of the same essence as the Father. When we confess the only begotten Son, we are saying that Christ is of the same nature as the Father. He has not sinned or done anything wrong. He is eternal, having the same attributes and nature as the Father. We are sons by adoption. And we need to be very encouraged by this. In the ancient world, adoption was not a consolation prize. In Roman law and in the Old Testament background, an adopted son received full inheritance rights. Abram understood this in Genesis 15, when he offered Eliezer of Damascus as an option to be an heir. Eliezer was not merely a faithful servant, but Abraham requested him to be the heir. Abraham is offering God an easy option, and not the challenge to bring a son through two elderly people without children. And Paul presses this further in verse 14. He declares that all who are led by the Spirit are sons of God. This language is important because all in the Spirit are sons possessing full inheritance. Note that firstborn sons are the ones who receive the greatest portion. Whatever your gender, whatever your genealogy, if you have the Spirit, you share in the inheritance of the eternal firstborn Son of God. You have done nothing to earn it. You have done everything to forfeit it. However, Christ, as a faithful son, secured His people to be coheirs with him as firstborn children. This love that the Father has for his children goes clear to the core of our heart. Why Submit to God? The Freedom of the RedeemedOur culture does not love submission. Even the word sounds like loss. But Paul reframes the question entirely in verse 15: you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear.Paul has already named the alternative. Living by the flesh is death. We see that in the fall. No, they did not fall dead, but they immediately broke fellowship with God. They were naked and ashamed. They thought they would find freedom in their rebellion, but they discovered that being estranged from God is a problem. Christ, washing the disciples' feet in John 13, says something remarkable to Peter: “ You are already clean.” Christ makes this declaration even before Christ is raised from the dead. Christ's work is so certain that he assures his disciples of its benefit before it is officially confirmed. The disciples consciously know who Christ is, but they need to rest in his cleansing. John Murray captured it well: in Christ, we have moved from the courtroom to the family room. The legal question is settled. Yes, affirming with the head, but resting in the heart. Honoring God without TerrorIf submission sounds like an obligation, honoring God can sound like performance. We can think that we better make sure we earn our Lord's favor. We have to make sure that we are doing the right things to prevent the Lord smiting us or harming us in some way. Paul does not want people to have this mindset of the Lord's grace and mercy. He tells us in verse 15 that we have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry Abba, Father. This is the same word Christ uses in Gethsemane. This is the time of his greatest anguish, of going to the cross. Christ is vulnerable; this is his darkest moment as he is about to face hell, and in this time of need, he cries out, “Abba.” We call on our heavenly Father as Christ calls on His Father. This is more like Dad rather than “master” or “Father.” It is communicating to us that we are brought near in the family in such a way that we have God's attention. The reason we want to honor God is not out of dread. Rather, when we consider the inheritance, we see that we are: heirs of God, fellow heirs with Christ. Not servants who have earned their way up. Not subordinate sons who receive a smaller portion. Fellow heirs. Co-heirs with the one who never sinned, never failed, and never rebelled. Christ does not gloat over his success, but rather freely shares everything he has merited with those who deserved none of it. Yes, we do consciously profess this with our minds, but the Spirit works in our hearts to see the joy of the new life. So, we cannot divorce the head from the heart. ConclusionThe Heidelberg Catechism seeks to bring out the implications of being brought near to God. The Heidelberg Catechism is not a cold document. It is a document written for people who need to know who they are. People who feel the weight of sin and ask whether God is really on their side. People who wonder whether submission to Christ is freedom or just a nicer version of slavery.The Heidelberg Catechism summarizes Romans 8 with the assurance that you are not a servant who performed well enough to be elevated. You are not an orphan who has been adopted by an abusive or lonely father. You are an adopted child of the living God, a co-heir with his faithful Son, indwelt by the Spirit who prods you toward life and away from death.We honor God, then, not because we have conceded that a terrible master is preferable to a really abusive one. We honor him because he is ours, and we are his, and the inheritance is already secured in the one who went to the cross knowing exactly what the wrath of God costs. He knows the cost and went anyway. He did so in order to make sure we all share in his inheritance. Our life lived before the face of God is not an obligation, but a joy.
A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: CALLED Sons Of God Subtitle: Studies In 1st John Speaker: Richard Warmack Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 5/24/2026 Bible: 1 John 3:1-3 Length: 35 min.
This sermon is part of an ongoing verse by verse series on First John. The subject of this message is the PRESENT ABIDING POSITION of all those God the Father CHOSE, God the Son redeemed, and God the Holy Spirit regenerates and converts.
Sir Byron Rodgers speaks about how wisdom, consecration, discipline, and closeness to God shape the direction of a person's life far more than most people realize. The battle is not only external—it is spiritual, mental, emotional, and deeply connected to what a person continually gives their attention to. Many people want peace, clarity, strength, and purpose while remaining fully connected to the distractions, fears, and systems that constantly pull them away from God. But Scripture repeatedly points back to the same principle: Seek first the Kingdom. Sonship is not just believing in God occasionally. It is living in alignment with Him daily—through discipline, prayer, wisdom, obedience, and spiritual maturity even when life feels uncertain. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

In this episode, Byron breaks down the Man of Peace protocols: a framework designed to move men from vague spirituality to applied discipleship. As sons of God, men are called to function as king-priests — serving under Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and High Priest. Priesthood informs kingship. Deliverance produces authority. Alignment produces clarity. These protocols address real life: Marriage Fatherhood. Leadership. Spiritual authority. This is discipleship with structure. If you want more than inspiration — if you want framework — that's what this is about. Subscribe to the podcast at
Send a text we slow down over Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Jesus isn't blessing peace-lovers or peace-keepers—He's blessing peace-makers: people who do the costly work of moving relationships, communities, and even enemies toward God's shalom (wholeness, justice, and restored right-order). We explore the original language, why this was a radical statement under an empire that claimed “peace” through dominance, and how peacemaking is often cross-shaped: truth without contempt, accountability without revenge, boundaries without hatred. In a tribalized, algorithm-driven world that profits from conflict, this episode offers practical tools to become un-manipulable disciples—people who pursue repair, protect the vulnerable, and carry the family resemblance of the Father.

The post The Sons Of God appeared first on Living Fellowship.
It is of utmost importance to know whether you are a child of God or a child of the Devil. When the children of God leave this world, they go to be with God forever; children of the Devil go to be with the Devil in eternal hell forever. There are not only two distinct families, but also two distinct futures for those families. One is heaven; the other is hell. Which will be your future?
"In Galatians 3:26–29, the Apostle Paul brings his redemptive-historical argument to a glorious climax: all who believe in Jesus Christ are sons of God, united to Christ, and true heirs of the promises made to Abraham.In this sermon, we explore how Paul moves from defending justification by faith to unfolding its breathtaking implications. The law, which once functioned as a tutor guarding God's people until the coming of the promised Seed, has now fulfilled its role. Christ has come. Faith has come. And in Christ, believers are no longer slaves—but sons.We consider the doctrine of adoption alongside justification, showing how God not only declares sinners righteous by faith, but also declares them his own children. Through union with Christ—the true Son of God—believers are clothed with Christ himself and share in all his privileges. Because Christ is the Seed of Abraham, all who belong to him are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.Paul's declaration that there is “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female” is examined carefully, not as an erasing of God-given distinctions, but as a proclamation of gospel unity. Ethnicity, social status, and gender no longer determine access to God or standing in his family. All who are in Christ are one—coheirs of the same inheritance, members of the same body, united to the same Savior.This passage reminds us that the promises given to Abraham find their fulfillment not in physical descent or law-keeping, but in Christ alone. And by faith, those promises now belong to you.You are not a slave. You are not a debtor striving to earn what cannot be earned. You are a son. You are a daughter. You are Abraham's seed in Christ—and an heir of everything God promised.#Galatians #JustificationByFaith #UnionWithChrist #Adoption #AbrahamicPromise #SeedOfAbraham #ChristAlone #GraceAlone #FaithAlone #BiblicalTheology #ReformedTheology #ExpositoryPreaching"

In our latest episode, Reagan Kramer welcomes back Pastor Doug Van Dorn as they explore the complexities of Bible translations as it relates to key supernatural verses, the concept of the divine council, nephilim and the historical changes in interpretation that have shaped modern understanding of scripture. They discuss the significance of the 'sons of God' in biblical texts, the impact of second-century rabbinical changes, and the role of scribes in preserving the integrity of the Bible. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these elements to grasp the full majesty of Jesus and the richness of the gospel.Doug dives into the significance of the Nephilim and their origins in relation to Genesis 6 and why it matters. HIs insights bring clarity to often misunderstood passages, making this a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible. This conversation is not just for theologians, but for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of scripture and its historical interpretations. Doug Van Dorn opens the conversation by addressing a common concern among Christians: "How can I trust my Bible if what you're saying is true?" He reassures listeners that while there are textual differences across translations, the Bible remains trustworthy. He cites the book of Isaiah and the Dead Sea Scrolls as examples, noting that the discrepancies are minimal, emphasizing that the Bible's transmission is superior to any other ancient texts.
