What is God?

Is He  powerful?

Is He merciful?

Is He a spirit?

Is He good?

Is He serious?

Is He holy?

The answers are all yes.

What else is He though? I mean, what is He specifically to all Christians?

The answer is what the title to this blog says, He is our Father. He is not only our Father, but He is the Father of several different things.

To have a healthy and wholistic view of God, we must really focus in on His fatherhood.

This Sunday night at Faith Baptist Church in Covington, VA we will be doing exactly that. I will be presenting a message entitled "Our Father Who Is In Heaven." I will be concentrating on this great Father we often only relate to by idea or basic head knwoledge/lip service instead of really seeing, knowing and loving Him as the amazing father He is. 

My prayer is that as a result, we will draw near to our "Abba." (Romans 8:15) and love Him as a good child should. Then by loving Him and drawing to Him more as our Father, the natural result will be that we serve Him more as servants to our God. For He is both Father and God, as we are to be both children and servants, indeed slaves, as Paul said. (Romans 1:1-2)

I look forward to seeing you FBC folks, and for you readers outside of our church family,feel free to log on to our website where you can always download the actual handouts for all of our sermons presented by any of our pastoral staff. The link is provided in our church name written in this blog.

God bless,

Chris
