Morning: The message, "The 'Abba' Cry," focused on Romans 8:15-16. Paul reminds us that we are not subject to fear. In this he means, that we do not fear God, as if he were unjust or unrighteous; and that we do not fear our circumstances, as if somehow they could be greater than God's ability. He also tells us that we have been given the Spirit of adoption, or sonship, through which we cry out "Abba, Father." It is, in Christ Jesus, an all access pass to the heavenly Father. Finally, Paul remind us that the Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we belong to Jesus. This is an inner confidence that God has received our faith as righteousness.
Evening: We had an ice cream social followed by our monthly business meeting.
