The Father Who Runs: Wrestling with God Through Grief and Grace

What does it mean to experience the Father's heart of God? In this deeply personal and moving Father's Day message, Dan Romp shares his own journey through grief, wrestling with God, and discovering the revolutionary truth of divine adoption.From the pain of losing a dear friend during university to wrestling with difficult questions about faith, Dan vulnerably explores how God meets us in our mess - not with condemnation, but with open arms. Drawing from the parable of the Prodigal Son and his own relationship with his earthly father, this sermon beautifully unpacks the difference between justification (getting out of the courtroom) and adoption (living as beloved children).You'll be encouraged by the truth that God doesn't wait for us to sort ourselves out - He runs towards us while we're still "covered in pig muck," wrapping us in His righteousness and calling us His own. This isn't just about forgiveness; it's about transformation, identity, and living with the unshakeable confidence that you are the one whom Jesus loves.Whether you're wrestling with doubt, carrying grief, or simply need a reminder of how deeply you're loved, this message will meet you exactly where you are.Find out more about Dorchester Family Church at https://dfc.org.uk/
