That's a god whom we serve. 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,700 He is amazing. He is wonderful and he does good 8 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,000 things in our lives. Now we're going to listen to 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,700 Pastor James, speak about God, who he's a good? 10 00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,400 Father. The message was recorded on 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,100 Sunday. 18th of June and Central site. 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,000 And God bless you, as you listen, we open to what he may 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,400 want to speak to you through it. So today as we celebrate 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,800 Father's Day and we're spending a few moments reflecting on of 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,700 course at one perfect. Father, Our Father in heaven and 16 00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:04,000 our message today is called all seven or true. 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,200 So we breathe briefly looking at seven truths from Ephesians 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,000 chapter 1 about God, our Father. So it's going to be great. 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,200 If we've ever wondered by the way, what a perfect father is 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,900 like, then we don't need to look any further than God our Father 21 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:22,500 and our. And if you're there thinking, 22 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,400 well, how can we know what? God our Father is like, then we 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,100 need look no further and actually than Jesus himself 24 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,800 because this is what Jesus said. When he said anyone who has seen 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,000 me, has seen the father, I am in the father and the father is in 26 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,100 me. That's in John chapter, 14. 27 00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:40,600 So, if you wonder what God, the father is like, when you look at 28 00:01:40,607 --> 00:01:44,700 all the characters character, Mystics and that Jesus hasn't 29 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:46,500 there. You see what God the father is 30 00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,500 like and I just felt it was important today really just to 31 00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,200 emphasize what God is like his character. 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,200 His goodness. There's plenty of lies and 33 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,000 misconceptions out there in the world about what God is like or 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,500 not. Like so let's let's let's just 35 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,500 then spend a few moments today, reminding ourselves and 36 00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,200 encouraging ourselves of the truth of what God is like I 37 00:02:06,208 --> 00:02:09,000 meant. So let me just pray, father, 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,900 thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being together. 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Thank you for your word, Lord, your word is alive, and I just 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,800 pray. The Lord is as we spend a few 41 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,800 moments. Now looking at these truths from 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,500 Ephesians, Lord, that your word would come alive in our hearts 43 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,700 and Minds Lord and we would be reminded again order of what an 44 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,800 amazing good and perfect, father, you are Lord. 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,700 And some of your incredible characteristics, father, we pray 46 00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,200 that it was sink into our hearts in Jesus name. 47 00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,300 Amen, man. So seven, Great truths from 48 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:41,900 Ephesians 1. If you've got your Bible, I'm 49 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:45,200 going to read It in a moment. But just to remind you, if you 50 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,300 think, what on Earth is this letter from Ephesians while 51 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,400 Paul? Paul the Apostle, wrote this 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,400 letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul used to been incredibly 53 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,700 religious Jewish leader. He was passionately opposed to 54 00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:01,700 the church and the he persecuted Christians, but then one day he 55 00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,600 had in miraculous Encounter With Jesus and actually began to 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600 spread the good news of Jesus. That's who Paul was and this 57 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,100 letter, he wrote to the church in Ephesus. 58 00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:15,300 So here we go, we start. In chapter chapter 1, starting 59 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:18,000 at verse 1, going through to verse 14, it will come up on the 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,200 screen. Here we go. 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,500 This letter is from Paul chosen by the will of God to be an 62 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,000 apostle of Christ. Jesus, I'm writing to God's holy 63 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,300 people in Ephesus who are faithful followers of Christ. 64 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,900 Jesus, may God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 65 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:36,700 Give you Grace and peace. All praise to God, the father of 66 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:40,300 our Lord, Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual 67 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,200 blessing, in the Heavenly Realms because We are united with 68 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Christ even before he made the world. 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,100 God loved us and chose us in Christ to be. 70 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:52,100 Holy and without fault, in his eyes, God decided in advance to 71 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:56,400 adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through 72 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,900 Christ. Jesus Christ. 73 00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:01,300 This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure. 74 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,000 So we praise God for the Glorious Grace. 75 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,100 He has poured out on us who belong to his. 76 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,700 Dear son, he is so rich in kindness and Grace that he 77 00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,100 purchased our freedom, with the blood of his son. 78 00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:15,700 And for Ever since he showered his kindness on us along with 79 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:19,700 all wisdom and understanding God, is now revealed to us. 80 00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:23,900 His mysterious will regarding Christ, which is to fill his 81 00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:24,800 own. Good plan. 82 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,600 And this is the plan at the right time, he will bring 83 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,700 everything together under the authority of Christ, everything 84 00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:33,500 in heaven and on Earth, furthermore, because we are 85 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:36,200 united with Christ. We have received an inheritance 86 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,000 from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything 87 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,200 work out according to his plan.

Give you Grace and peace. 103 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Oh man oh man before we fully launched into this passage from 104 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,400 Ephesians 1, these seven Great truths. 105 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800 We know I mean we've heard one already but we know One thing is 106 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,900 true about Earthly dad's and that is that there's always a 107 00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:50,800 dad joke or two about all right? And so, it's only right that we 108 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,900 cringe for a few moments just before we before. 109 00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,400 Yeah, before before we go any deeper apparently, there are two 110 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,800 characteristics to dad jokes and they are wholesome 111 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400 appropriateness plus delightfully, corny punchlines. 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,300 I think that's that's probably true, isn't it? 113 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,700 So these ones I'm going to tell you, they definitely fit that 114 00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,400 description. So you ready? 115 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,400 I mean this is deeply profound Why do bees have sticky hair? 116 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,600 Because they use a honeycomb. Yeah, good. 117 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,500 I want to hear plenty of grounds people. 118 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,200 Why couldn't the astronaut land on the Moon? 119 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,100 Because it was full. It's good. 120 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,900 What do you call a shoe made of a banana, a slipper? 121 00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:42,500 Yes. I, yes, bear and why couldn't 122 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:49,900 the bicycle stand up by itself? It was too tired, they are bad, 123 00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,900 but that good, it's good to have a good dad joke anyway quite 124 00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,600 enough of that. So God, our father, he is 125 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,300 perfect, and whatever, our experience of Earthly fathers, 126 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400 whether it's been good, bad or indifferent or somewhere in 127 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,800 between today, we're going to think on the truth of a perfect 128 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,500 father and whether you're a follower of Jesus and the room 129 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:13,700 already today, or if you're on the journey to Faith, like the 130 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:18,200 truth of what God says, do you think in today and these are 131 00:07:18,207 --> 00:07:21,500 biblical truths this morning. They're reminding ourselves of 132 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:24,900 what really matters because what you're going to hear this 133 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:27,200 morning the truths about Heavenly father, that they're 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800 not what you're going to hear about God in the secular World, 135 00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:33,000 you'll find that the enemy puts his spin on everything and then 136 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,700 every way and when it comes to slandering God and saying lives 137 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,900 about him, that come through all kinds of different ways in the 138 00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:41,700 secular World from mainstream news programming in social 139 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:44,400 media. I mean, I guess ask yourself 140 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,600 when was the last time you saw a news item or iPlayer series on 141 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,300 Netflix program, whatever it is that the spoke the truth about 142 00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:51,600 God. When's the last time you hear 143 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,500 that you probably you probably can't remember. 144 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800 But today, we're looking at this brilliant pass. 145 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,700 It's from Ephesians 1 and it's all about the truth of what God 146 00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,000 is like. As I Heavenly Father, the truth 147 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,900 of God has never changed irrespective of the culture that 148 00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,700 we're living in. Irrespective of what people say 149 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,100 what we read here today about God, our father has always been 150 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,300 true and always will be true. God loves us before. 151 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,100 Anything is always force, is always cheering us on is 100% 152 00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,700 committed to us and much more than this. 153 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,500 God is our father, I'm a man. So number one, He blesses us 154 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,700 with every spiritual blessing. All praise to God, the father of 155 00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,200 our Lord, Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual 156 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,500 blessing in the Heavenly Realms because we are united with 157 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:35,900 Christ. So truth number one about our 158 00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,500 heavenly father. He blesses us with every 159 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,400 spiritual blessing in the Heavenly Realms when we are 160 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,700 united with Christ. The fact is God has not held 161 00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,000 back when it comes to blessing us. 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Spiritually is not held back the blessings. 163 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,500 Our heavenly father has blessed us with far outweigh anything 164 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,600 Earthly or material that we could ever imagine that we have 165 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,400 here and now God's resources and blessings are always there for 166 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,700 us and we can have great certainty and Assurance, Charles 167 00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:08,400 Spurgeon, who you may have heard that name. 168 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600 He was a he was a renowned Baptist preacher said this about 169 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,100 God's blessings we are not sitting and excuse, the language 170 00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:17,700 has a slightly old-fashioned because obviously it was an 171 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:19,800 older guy. But we are not sitting here and 172 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,700 groaning and crying and fretting and worrying and questioning our 173 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,600 own salvation. He has blessed us and therefore 174 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,100 we will be Him. If you think little of what God 175 00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,100 has done for you, you will do very little for him. 176 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,500 But if you have a great notion of his great Mercy to you, 177 00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:34,600 you'll be greatly grateful to your gracious. 178 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,900 God and he goes on to say, a new heart is better than the new 179 00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:41,800 coat to feed on Christ is better than to have the best Earthly 180 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,500 food to be an heir of God is better than being the heir of 181 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:47,600 the greatest nobleman to have God. 182 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,300 For our portion is blessed infinitely, more blessed than to 183 00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:53,600 own broad acres of land. God has blessed us with 184 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,800 spiritual blessings. These are the rare. 185 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,600 Is the richest the most enduring of all blessings. 186 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,400 They are Priceless in value. God, our father has blessed us 187 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,200 with every spiritual blessing in him. 188 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,400 We experience true forgiveness. The greatest need for us all, as 189 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,400 humans is to know, forgiveness and acceptance by God. 190 00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,500 People don't always realize that, but that is what we need. 191 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,600 We need forgiveness from him and this obviously can never be 192 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,100 found in material possessions of what the world offers spiritual 193 00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:28,300 blessings, come in the form of knowing the freedom and approval 194 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,900 from God, our Father, that's where we find incredible 195 00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:34,700 blessing. And, you know, when we get, when 196 00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,400 we get to know, God, when we give our lives in, we get a new 197 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,200 start and maybe if you're here today and you're thinking, you 198 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,800 know, Too late for you.

Just let that sink in for a 223 00:12:01,108 --> 00:12:03,000 minute. I mean, however old you think 224 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,200 the Earth and universe is before any of the even existed? 225 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,400 God knew about you he loved you, he chose you. 226 00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:14,600 He knew all about you and you have always been in his thoughts 227 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,300 and in his affections always, just let that sink in speaking. 228 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,600 That to you personally, this morning none of us are an 229 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,400 afterthought none of us in the room are a mistake. 230 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,800 None of us are here as a result.

And I've always been loved by 232 00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:39,000 the creator of the universe even before he made the world. 233 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,200 God loved us and he chose us. That is what God, our Father is 234 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,900 like a man. Number three, he adopted us 235 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,400 verse 5, God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family 236 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,700 by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. 237 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,500 He adopted us into his own family. 238 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,600 We've all got our own story and we have about what our Earthly 239 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,500 family looks like.

So no matter what your Earthly 260 00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:15,500 experience and family has been like you can be in God's family. 261 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,500 There's many great families and people that on a human level 262 00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,300 adopt children into their family and provider home, a loving 263 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,500 environment and much more. We've got some brilliant 264 00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:27,800 families. Actually you may you may not be 265 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,200 aware but there's met there's many great families in the life 266 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,100 of one church here at Fosters and adopters and look after 267 00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,500 Children of the ways and I which it we cheer them on their great 268 00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:39,300 examples of showing unconditional. 269 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:43,800 Love to children and that, yeah, yeah, give him, let's cheer him 270 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,400 on You may or may not know, but one of the Charities we support 271 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,100 as one churches home for good and they're playing an amazing 272 00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:56,400 part in helping to ensure that every child and young person has 273 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,900 the home that they need and all of that is great but more than 274 00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:01,600 this more than that, that's all. Brilliant stuff. 275 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,700 But more than that we as his people have been adopted into 276 00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:11,500 gods family The greatest family ever God, our fathers family, so 277 00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:13,700 he has adopted us into his own family. 278 00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,700 That is what God our Father is.

He takes great pleasure and 281 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,100 Delight in you. Says, later from that verse, 282 00:15:28,100 --> 00:15:31,300 this is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure. 283 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:35,300 And this follows very much on from speaking about adoption 284 00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:39,700 process that we see God wanted to do, he always wanted us to be 285 00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:43,700 in his family. And we see from here that he 286 00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,200 takes great pleasure and Delight in us, no one is exempt from the 287 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,900 love and kindness of God. The door is open for literally 288 00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:52,900 everyone. So if you're sitting here in 289 00:15:52,908 --> 00:15:55,300 this morning, think while day, I don't know if I deserve to be in 290 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:58,200 God's family while none of us deserve to be in God's family, 291 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,900 it's not about what we can earn or what we do. 292 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:06,000 He freely accepts us. Despite what you've met may 293 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,800 have. Heard God is not mean on loving 294 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,500 and caring and indifferent. The heavenly father, I know 295 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:15,400 takes great, pleasure, and Delight in US. 296 00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,900 In fact such was his passion and delight and love for us that he 297 00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:25,500 came and lived here on Earth. We know that he experienced 298 00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:27,400 everything. There is to experience here The 299 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,200 Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and then he was unjustly, convicted 300 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,600 and crucified on a cross for us, so that we could be back in a 301 00:16:34,608 --> 00:16:38,900 right relationship with him. All that after it was us that 302 00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:40,600 messed up but he took the initiative. 303 00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:44,600 I think we can say with great conviction this morning that God 304 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800 our Father takes great Delight in US. 305 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:51,000 Psalm 149 verse 44, the Lord Delights in his people. 306 00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,900 He crowns The Humble With Victory, Psalm 18, 19, he led me 307 00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:57,900 to a place of safety. He rescued me because he 308 00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:02,800 Delights and me so I'm 37 23. The Lord directs the steps of 309 00:17:02,808 --> 00:17:06,900 The Godly he Delights in every detail of their lives. 310 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:13,800 If you look for it, his word is riddled with affirmation and the 311 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,700 fact that he Delights in his people. 312 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,700 It takes great, pleasure, and Delight in us. 313 00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,800 Let that sink in this morning. That is what God our Father is 314 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,200 like, it takes great, pleasure, and Delight in US. 315 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:32,800 Number five, he is rich in kindness and Grace is rich in 316 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,000 kindness and grace verse 7. He says, he is so rich in 317 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,500 kindness and Grace that he purchased our freedom, with the 318 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:42,300 blood of his son and forgive our sins. 319 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,800 He has showered his kindness on us along with all wisdom and 320 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,500 understanding. He has showered his kindness on 321 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,900 us. I love that language. 322 00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:55,500 Just, as I was looking at it reminded me, it was great. 323 00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:57,200 Wasn't it? When it's been hot and earlier 324 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,300 in the week? Week we then had the 325 00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,300 thunderstorms and the rain begins to pour down and shower. 326 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:06,600 And I said I was thinking about that about how God you know like 327 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,400 there any showers is goodness and kindness on us. 328 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,500 God, our Father is rich is rich in kindness and Grace towards 329 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:20,900 us. It's probably true to say that 330 00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:25,000 the predominant worldview is that God is harsh mean, and 331 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,400 waving a big sticker. Anyone who dare step out of 332 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000 line? That is honestly a lot of 333 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,700 people's view of what God is like. 334 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:35,500 What can I say? Even the brief briefest of looks 335 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:38,100 at the Bible and the life of Jesus will tell you something 336 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,300 very different indeed about the character of God. 337 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,800 And that's where we need to point. 338 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,900 People is very different. The truth is, God, has showered 339 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:52,600 undeserved kindness on us and he is rich in kindness and Grace 340 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,400 towards us. And let's face it. 341 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,800 We are all in need of his kindness and Grace. 342 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,500 Yeah. God our Father comes to show us 343 00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,300 incredible kindness and Grace is rich rich in it and he calls us 344 00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:10,700 to be like him and if we're honest with ourselves, we know 345 00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:14,500 that without God's help and intervention and lives. 346 00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:19,500 We all have the capacity to be unkind self, centered self focus 347 00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:22,600 on gracious, critical jealous insecure and much more. 348 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,700 We need his kindness and Grace in his and allies. 349 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,800 Yeah, we do. And the good news is that God, 350 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,500 our father, he is rich in kindness and Grace. 351 00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:38,400 And obviously the kindness and Grace is automatically expressed 352 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,300 and in that we can know true freedom, because of what Jesus 353 00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:44,500 did for die by dying for us on the cross, which meant we can 354 00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,100 their forgiveness. So God, our Father is rich in 355 00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:52,800 kindness and Grace. That is what God our Father is. 356 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:59,000 Like a man number six, he has revealed his plan to the world. 357 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,100 Verse 9 says, God has now revealed to us. 358 00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:06,300 His mysterious will regarding Christ, which is to fill his 359 00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:07,200 own. Good plan. 360 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,300 And this is the plan at the right time, he will bring to 361 00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,000 bring everything together under the authority of Christ, 362 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,700 everything in heaven and on Earth. 363 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:21,300 You know, it was always God's plan that we could walk in 364 00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:25,800 relationship with him. God always intended that we 365 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,700 could walk closely with him that we could be in relationship with 366 00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,500 him. We could never learn that. 367 00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,600 We could never, we never deserve that, but that is what he wanted 368 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,500 for us. And you see that in the 369 00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:39,100 beginning, that if you read in Genesis, how Adam and Eve walked 370 00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:43,500 with God in the garden, And that was what he originally attended. 371 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,000 It was never God's purpose that we as his people would be 372 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,300 distant from him. We are created to know him and 373 00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:55,500 to walk closely with him and of course that's a choice, isn't 374 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:57,600 it? We make we can make a choice to 375 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,100 walk with him. Nothing with God, is ever 376 00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:04,300 demanded or forced. That is not who he is. 377 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,400 He gives us a choice. But we know how it went, then we 378 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,700 Adam and Eve, they rebelled and messed up and their sin, 379 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:17,800 separated them from God because God is perfect and holy and so 380 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,300 that they couldn't any longer walk closely with him in that 381 00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:25,500 sense, but thank God that he had a plan for that relationship for 382 00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:29,000 everyone to be put, right? Again and God has revealed his 383 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,600 plan to the world and that plan was to give his son to die in 384 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,500 our place so that we didn't have to suffer the consequences of 385 00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:41,400 our Us in all of our wrongdoing. What an amazing plan e had. 386 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,600 You know, people can often question if God is real or not 387 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,400 and one of the things they might ask is what about all the 388 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,000 suffering that goes on in the world? 389 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,800 How, how can God be real if there's all this suffering? 390 00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:59,900 Well, the Stark reality is that the vast percentage of all the 391 00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:02,700 suffering and everything that goes on is a result of human 392 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,200 selfishness and greed, that is the reality and it's a hard 393 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,300 thing to face up to, but that is the truth. 394 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,500 We as humans are free to do as we please and and all the 395 00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:15,800 consequences that come as a result of that. 396 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,500 But God our Father is good and kind and gracious and true. 397 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,600 God's plan that he put in place meant that everything all the 398 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,200 mass or the Rebellion, or the chaos caused by our wrongdoing, 399 00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,500 would be dealt with and be bought back together under the 400 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:35,300 authority of Jesus. And a way back to knowing God 401 00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,600 personally would be made possible for all. 402 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,200 It's open to everyone this morning. 403 00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:43,600 You know, the world we live in the universe is not here by 404 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200 coincidence, it's not me a chance. 405 00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:50,300 We as people are not a product of evolution the earth and the 406 00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,000 universe were intricately and magnificently designed and 407 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,100 created. and we as people are the Masterpiece and Pinnacle of 408 00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:05,200 God's creation, we are He looked at everything he met and said it 409 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,800 was good. He looked at us as people. 410 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,300 So, yeah, it's good, really good. 411 00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:13,500 In fact, really good. God always had a plan. 412 00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:16,400 Nothing was left to chance and God's plan for the world was 413 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,800 revealed to us through Jesus. It all started with Jesus and it 414 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,900 will all end at him with him. He has revealed his plan to this 415 00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:28,900 world. This is what God, our Father is 416 00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:34,400 like Lastly, number seven. And this is brilliant as all of 417 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,600 them are. He has given us an incredible 418 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,900 inheritance. This is what God, our Father is 419 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,500 like verse 11. Furthermore, because we are 420 00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:44,300 united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from 421 00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:48,900 God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out 422 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,100 according to his plan. So the seventh and final truth 423 00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,100 that were looking at, from this passage this morning about a 424 00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,300 heavenly father is this.
