Last week I introduced a new series on the Lord’s Prayer. For several reasons, I’ve decided to do a rewind episode this week because it fits what we’re going to be talking about in the first part of the Lord’s Prayer. So what you’re about to hear originally aired as Episode 28, which was part of a Freedom series I did last year, this episode titled “The Father-Heart of God.”

As we address God as Father in the Lord’s prayer, we’re addressing him as a father. It’s important that we understand what that means (and what it doesn’t mean). And I think this rewind episode will set the stage for that pretty well.

So join me today as we discuss:

1. The root of spiritual freedom.

2. Who Is God . . . Really?

3. What a good Father looks like.

4. How to really please God.

5. Moving From Doubt to Faith

6. The difference between living as orphans and living like sons and daughters.

7. The difference between discipline and condemnation.

Each of us has a choice. You can see and determine God’s character in light of and through your own experiences. OR, you can see and determine your own experiences in light of and through God’s character. One choice leads to misery and bondage, the other to freedom and hope and joy and peace.

Choose wisely.
