Gospel Parenthood and Adoption | why parent?

Speaker: Dennis Wilkinson Text: Rom 5:10, Rom 8:21-23, James 1:27 Date: May 22, 2011 TEXTS: Matthew 28:19, Romans 5:10, 8:23, Ephesians 1:5, James 1:27 In this 3rd week of our series on the Gospel & sex in our culture, we'll unpack the state of our culture's confusion related to parenthood, adoption & family. Is there really a gospel reason to love this idea of family and to joyfully embrace the rigours of the Christian life which, for most, will include the challenge of parenting? YES. The longer and deeper we look into gospel, the more clearly we will see that this whole concept of family is a beautiful thing in God's mind, a beautiful thing that he is calling all of us to be a part of. This morning we are going to look at the gospel from three different directions, and as we do I hope God will birth in you a love for him, that grows so deep that your love for your self begins to dim and fade away.
