Evening Sermon - 22nd June 2025 - Behold What Kind of Love: Adoption into God's Family

Episode description

This evening's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.

In this evening sermon, the Reverend George Speers continues his exposition of 1 John 3:1, exploring what it means to be called children of God. Building on a morning message about human unsuitability for adoption, Rev Speers turns to the character of the heavenly Father — his grace, perfection, resources, wisdom, time, record and willingness — before reflecting on the extraordinary, 'out of this world' nature of the Father's love itself. Using illustrations from modern adoption practice and the parable of the prodigal son, he presses home the ease, speed, size, steadfastness and future hope of being adopted into God's family.
