Abba: I AM Your Papa

This Christmas message invites us to explore the profound meaning of God as our Abba - our loving, intimate Father. The central theme revolves around Romans 8:14-15, emphasizing that through Christ, we can approach God not just as a distant deity, but as our 'Papa.' This shift in perspective transforms our relationship with God, encouraging us to come to Him with childlike trust and confidence. The message challenges us to reflect on our earthly fathers and how that might color our view of God, while reminding us that our heavenly Father is infinitely good, compassionate, and generous. As we celebrate communion, we're reminded that Jesus came not only to save us from sin but to save us for an intimate relationship with our heavenly Papa. This realization can deeply impact how we pray, how we view ourselves as God's children, and how we approach life's challenges with the assurance of our Father's love and care.
