While growing up, how was your relationship with your father? Was he a part of your life? Did he invest in you? If so, how did he express his love to you? What did he teach you? If not, was there another man that showed love to you and/or fit that fatherly figure?

You’ve read about Jesus this year, and tasted a glimpse of His love and grace for you through Peter’s story. But what do you know about God the Father? Is it important to understand about Him as well? How does He fit into the gospel message?

We’ve spent the last several weeks looking into great leaders’ lives. We’ve explored the areas that the Lord worked in them to build up their character and their stories, in order to lead a multitude of other people to Him. Here’s the thing, we’ve looked at a lot of people. Now I want to look to God.

Then Jesus grew up. Moments of His childhood gave glimpses into His abilities. The Father was teaching Him. Holy Spirit was working in Him. Then came the day. The day that would spark the beginnings of it all.
