Summary
In the heart of our week on being the child of God, we’re going to take time today to look at how we can position ourselves to receive the wealth of Fatherly affections God has for us.
God’s love changes everything. Wherever you need a sense of his love, wherever you have need, I pray that the Father gives you a profound revelation of his love there today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 36:5, and today's worship is Reckless Love by Cory Asbury.

Message From Craig:
We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.
I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.
And, if you give today, a generous donor has stepped forward with a $30,000 match, to DOUBLE every dollar you’re able to give! Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.
