Summary
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 John 4:18, and today's worship is Never Be The Same by First15 Worship feat. Ashley and Bryan McCleery.
--
Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!

| 0:00.0 | There is no better Father than Creator God. |
| 0:07.0 | He formed us and knows us. |
| 0:10.0 | He provides for us, loves us unconditionally, and longs for real, life-giving relationship with us. |
| 0:16.0 | He runs out to meet us in our sin, close us with new identity, |
| 0:24.6 | and restores to us the abundant life he has always planned for us. |

| 0:31.0 | may a fresh revelation of His love for you guide you into greater depths of relationship with your Heavenly Father. |
| 0:35.5 | Welcome to the first 15 podcast. |
| 0:38.3 | Our verse of team podcast. |
| 0:40.3 | Our version today comes from 1 John 3.1, where Scripture says, |
| 0:58.0 | See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are. |
| 1:06.0 | In Brennan Manning's book, Abba's Child, The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging, |
| 1:12.7 | He writes, |
| 1:13.8 | But we cannot assume that God feels about us the way we feel about ourselves, |
| 1:18.5 | unless we love ourselves compassionately, intensely, and freely. |
| 1:23.1 | In human form, Jesus revealed to us what God is like. He exposed our projections for the idolatry |
| 1:30.8 | that they are and gave us the way to become free of them. It takes a profound conversion to accept that |
| 1:37.5 | God is relentlessly tender and compassionate toward us just as we are, not in spite of our sins and faults, |
| 1:44.1 | that would not be total acceptance, |
| 1:46.2 | but with them. Though God does not condone or sanction evil, he does not withhold his love |
| 1:51.9 | because there is evil in us. May we experience the freedom that comes with a true revelation |
| 2:00.1 | of God's unceasing love for us. |
