What does it mean to live as a child of God? In Hebrews 3 we're told that Jesus lived as a son while Moses lived as a servant, how can follow the lead of Jesus and live into our true identity as sons and daughters? Pastor Chris teaches on the nature of sonship and the importance of living out our standing in God.
Positions, titles, even ministries can come and go. But one identity never changes—you are a son of the living God. When the world crashes in, and titles are stripped away, what remains is your sonship. God isn't after your work; He's after your heart. He's not trying to get more from you—He's trying to give more to you.
This sermon from Jamal Sarikoki emphasizes that Jesus reveals God as Father, which is a deeper and more intimate revelation than simply knowing God as Creator. The Fatherhood of God is central to Jesus' mission and is revealed by the Spirit to the childlike in heart. Knowing God as Father is not just intellectual, but must be received emotionally and spiritually. Many people struggle to truly experience this love because of emotional wounds, especially those related to earthly fathers. Jamal explains that emotional healing and openness like a child are key to receiving this revelation. Jesus models this perfect relationship with the Father, and through Him, believers are invited into the same kind of intimacy. Ultimately, we are called to not only know the Father's love but to live in it, letting it shape our identity and healing.
What does it truly mean to be a son of God rather than just a servant? In this powerful episode of Apostolic Mentoring, Pastor Powell from Texas delivers a kingdom-shaking message that challenges believers to step beyond servanthood into the fullness of divine sonship.Drawing from Romans 8:19, Pastor Powell reveals how all creation eagerly awaits the manifestation of God's sons—believers who understand their true identity and authority. The distinction isn't merely semantic; it fundamentally transforms how we approach our relationship with God and our mission in the world.Through biblical examples and personal insights, Pastor Powell unpacks three vital components of authentic sonship: submission, ownership, and favor. Submission isn't a restrictive concept but the very foundation that connects us to spiritual authority. Ownership moves us beyond waiting for instructions to recognizing needs and taking initiative. Favor encompasses the blessings and authority that come with our position as royal children.One of the most striking revelations shared is how adopted children legally have stronger inheritance rights than natural-born children—a powerful picture of our grafted position in God's family. We aren't second-class citizens in the Kingdom but fully entitled heirs with direct access to the throne room.This message arrives at a crucial moment for the global church. As Pastor Powell emphasizes, "Don't wait for the perfect time. The fields are already white and ready for harvest." The world doesn't belong to darkness but has been given to God's children as an inheritance—we simply need to rise up and take possession through prayer, fasting, and bold action.Ready to stop living like a slave and start walking in the authority of sonship? This episode will equip you to lift your head high and embrace your true identity as a child of the King, positioned with purpose and empowered to transform your world.We love to hear from our listeners!

Lee, Dana, and Steve answer at length a listener question about Jesus' Sonship. *********************************************************************Website: rbcbellefontaine.comIntro Music: “Thunder” by Telecasted
The doctrine of sonship is a prominent teaching within the New Apostolic Reformation. One of the teachings surrounding this belief is that spiritual sons and daughters are to honor and to exhibit the spiritual DNA of their spiritual father/mother. Some leaders will even express that they should be obeyed, or sons and daughters run the risk of being illegitimate. Join me as we consider the teaching of sonship in light of Scripture.

The Good News we proclaim in a world filled with distortion, distance and disconnection of every kind. There is a Man who trusts His Love is enough to Liberate and give life to the most broken to restore - Sonship like Jesus!
Paul continues to help the Galatian church understand and apply the gospel. He reminds them of their former lives as spiritual slaves and how Jesus redeems them into God's family. In this sermon, we look at the benefits of our adoption and how that reality changes the way we experience God our Father.
There are 2 apparently contradictory sets of Scriptures, one of which says we are already fully righteous (justified) and fully forgiven in Christ by His grace (Rom 5:1, 2Cor 5:21, Eph 1:7, 4:32, Col 1:14, ), but the other says that we are lacking in righteousness and so need to seek God for more of His righteousness (Matthew 5:6, 6:33), and that we need to ask for forgiveness, when we sin to be cleansed of all unrighteousness (1John 1:9, Matthew 6:12-15, Mark 11:25-26). How can both sides be true? Many take a simplistic approach of embracing the verses they like, and ignoring or explaining away the rest, for example by saying the teaching of Jesus no longer applies (in contradiction to Matthew 5:19, 7:24-27, 28:18-20). Derek shares that the full truth is found by embracing all the Scriptures as fully true, but there are 2 related realms of truth – relationship truth and fellowship truth. Relationship truth describes what God has done for us in Christ when we received Him as Lord and Saviour. This was all done by God's grace at the moment of salvation and is unconditional, absolute, and unchanging. All our sins are forgiven and we have been justified (declared righteous) before God. Before salvation, we had no relationship with God, we were in the realm of the Courtroom, guilty before the Judge, but when we trusted in Christ, who paid the penalty for us, we were not only forgiven and placed into right-standing with God, but also adopted into His family as His son. So, we now have a new relationship with God by His grace, which move us out of the realm of the Courtroom into the realm of God's Family, where the truths of family fellowship and forgiveness apply. As far as the Courtroom (and our salvation) is concerned there is no condemnation for us in Christ, but as far as our family life with God is concerned, when we sin, we need to confess our sins to God to receive His forgiveness (1John 1:9), in order to keep our heart right with God, and restore our fellowship with Him (see James 4:7-10). Whereas relationship is binary (you either have a relationship with God or you don't), your fellowship with God (the level of the Light of His Presence in your heart) is variable, depending on how close your heart is to God. Moreover, fellowship by its very nature is reciprocal, depending on the will of both people, and therefore variable if one of them is human. Thus, Fellowship Scriptures are conditional, unlike Relationship Scriptures. Relationship truth is foundational, as our fellowship with God is only possible on the grounds of our relationship with Him in Christ. But fellowship truths are also important, for God's purpose in establishing a relationship with us is so that He might have fellowship with us (Isaiah 43:25). Finally, Derek explains why the Relationship-Fellowship distinction is a fundamental part of reality because it originates in the nature of the Triune God, who has a 2-fold unity: (1) of relationship, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit being of one substance, and (2) of fellowship, since they fully give themselves to each other and interpenetrate each other in love (perichoresis).

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Luke 3:15–22. As people wonder if John the Baptist might be the Messiah, he clarifies that one greater than him is coming—so great that John is unworthy to untie His sandals. John baptizes with water, but this greater one—Jesus—will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire, bringing both salvation and judgment. When Jesus is baptized, the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends on Him like a dove, and a voice from heaven affirms His divine Sonship, marking Him as the promised greater one.

Jeff Zaugg and Rob Porter sit down with Jay Heck for a powerful, three-way conversation on fatherhood. In Part 1, they dive into the tension between being a provider and still embracing curiosity, adventure, and childlike wonder. They also unpack the unique triune relationship between a father, God, and his child. Key Takeaway Are you approaching life like an orphan or like a son whose father is going to come through for him even if he makes a mistake? Slowing down can help you navigate the tension between being a provider and embracing curiosity, wonder, and creativity. God uses your trials to bring wholeness, restoration, and healing. You don't have to exhaust yourself to allow God to do a work in you. Instead of carrying the burden of fatherhood alone, realize that you are ultimately raising God's child, and He will be there to help you. Jay Heck & Rob Porter Jay Heck is the founder and director of Being Songs, a ministry helping men discover that authentic, fearless, God-designed manhood begins by being a son. He and his wife, Heather, have two young adult children. Rob Porter lives in New Zealand with his wife and two kids. He leads Let's Keep Rising, a ministry that crafts adventures, events, and resources that meet men where they are and help them experience restoration in the most critical relationships they have, beginning with God Key Quotes 14:49- "I want to learn from it. I want to patch things up where there's been a rupture and let's keep going. And that has produced so much fruit. Growing up as a kid, I came out of childhood with a fear of a lack of connection, a lack of attachment with my children. So I think out of the pain and out of the crucible of our past, we have the opportunity to have a glorious future if we dig into God and say, help redeem what my experience was." 47:35 - "What if, in fact, we begin operating under the paradigm that God is the Father, which means that all provision actually comes from Him. All protection actually comes from Him. The plan for my child's life that I feel like is so on me to help them navigate, what if God, like it says in Scripture, already has all the days numbered for them before one of them came to be? What if He already knows their nature, their goodness? What if He already knows what He's been training them for, what they're learning in the present moment, and He already knows, I've got all this stuff that I need to them and father them through for them to become what I created. What that means is that I can get in the way. If I take that posture that I'm the dad, I can so much be the wall and the obstacle between God and my child. If I can, if we can begin looking at it where God is the Father will, and then we've got this interchangeable relationship, I can be His child and God's going to use my son or my daughter to help me lean on Him."

2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.Did you know that you become what you behold? The Scriptures teach us that as we we gaze upon Jesus, we are continually transformed into His image. Pastor Chuck Maher begins a new series entitled: Beholding Jesus. In this weeks message, Pastor Chuck teaches that as we behold Jesus we gain a greater revelation of our Sonship. Just as Father was pleased in His Son Jesus, He is pleased with those who are His children. As we behold Jesus, we receive greater revelation on what it means to be a child of God.

Sunday February 16, 2025: Pastor Matt opens a series on what it truly means to be a people led by the spirit. Not in expression or language alone, but truly a people of the wind surrendered to the Holy Spirit's lordship. His lordship seals, and sears, sonship upon our hearts and leads us into greater realms of glory as we break the box of "self" and surrender all to the spirit of God.
This week's episode examines how the narrative of the Gospel of Matthew slowly reveals the role of the messianic son of God as a figure who must suffer and be rejected in accordance with the will of God. We look at how Jesus responds to the accusation of being a rebellious son, how the Transfiguration reinforces Jesus as the promised messiah to whom the disciples owe their allegiance, and the way that narrative both closes and opens with a triple temptation concerning Jesus' sonship. Jesus is condemned for being perceived as a disobedient son, a messianic pretender, but he never once claimed, hinted, or otherwise implied that he was God or divine.
