The First Following

Apr 27, 2025    Pastor Duane Butler

In this powerful message, we're challenged to explore the fundamental questions of our existence: Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we live? What's our purpose? These aren't just philosophical musings, but deeply spiritual inquiries that lead us to the heart of our faith. The central scripture, John 1:12, reminds us that we have 'the right to become children of God.' This isn't just a nice sentiment - it's a profound spiritual reality that should transform how we see ourselves and our place in the world. We're not just trying to be good people or religious observers; we're invited to become true children of God, embodying His truth, love, and purpose. This message encourages us to embrace our identity in Christ fully, letting go of worldly attachments and stepping into the divine destiny God has prepared for us. It's a call to live as 'pathfinders' in our families and communities, courageously blazing new trails of faith and transformation.
