Adoption

I preached on adoption yesterday in our morning service. For those who like to think about sermons after they are preached, here's a reminder of what we talked about.

Main point: If you've been adopted by God, have a heart for adopting children.

Texts: Galatians 4.1-7 and James 1.26-27

I also mentioned Ephesians 1, which is a good enough chapter to read in its entirety (it mentions God planning the adoption of people before time began) and the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 (Joseph was the true father of Jesus, even as an adoptive father, because the Messiah's lineage is recorded through him rather than Mary).

Soon, the sermon will be up online so you can view it if you'd like.

A website that would be good for you to look at to learn/think more would be: http://www.togetherforadoption.org/
