Summary
In the last podcast of our weeklong focus on being the child of God, today we’re looking at how our status as God’s child can never been taken away from us. May God give you confidence and joy today in your new identity in him. And may you see how powerful his sacrificial love is today as we make space to see and live out our identity as eternal children of a good God.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 10:28, and today's worship is Faithful To The End by Paul and Hannah McClure.
