Peace, Purpose and Being a Child of God Matthew 5v48, 6v5-13, 6v25-33

What is God like? “We can see what God is like by looking at Jesus” “God is a loving Father”

We have a perfect heavenly Father (5v48) He sees (v6) He knows (v8) He has power (v9) He is our provider (v26) PEACE … instead of worry (v25 & 31) PURPOSE … instead of busyness (v33)

God wants you to have PEACE and PURPOSE in your life "Christ … suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” (1 Peter 3v18) “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3v1)

Lack of willingness to trust Bad parenting Not knowing truth Believing Lies Lack of self worth Lack of willingness to trust

Signs of ‘Self Parenting’ … A strong internal moral code A tendency to be highly responsible Fiercely loyal Constant busyness Difficulty making decisions

Signs of ‘Self Parenting’ … Intolerance of personal mistakes A struggle to be generous with yourself Yearning for comfort Emotional vulnerability Looking for affirmation from father figures

How do we break free? Prayer Truth

1. Know the Truth You were made to be fathered “Is there anyone up there who cares for me?” “Our Father in Heaven …”

You were made to be fathered 1. Know the Truth You were made to be fathered God is a perfect Father He sees He knows He has power He is our provider He disciplines (disciples!) us

2. Ask God to reveal more of his Father Heart to you “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” Romans 8v15-16

3. Focus your life on being a son or daughter of God “Whose son or daughter are you?”

Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to return to him The Prodigal Son Luke 15v11-24 Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to return to him
