God Our Father

FIRST15
About this episode

In the third day of this week-long series, taking time every day to stir up our affections for God, today we’re going to look at all it means for him to be our Father. Out of all of the metaphors used for our relationship with this eternal, transcendent God, the concept of him being a Father today has been most meaningful.

May he draw us closer as he reveals what a good Father he is to us.
