SERIES: GOD IS FATHER – I AM ADOPTED

This series gives a theology of family and adoption. It discusses the importance of seeing, knowing, and relating to God as Father, and it looks at the reality that when we become Jesus followers, we are adopted into God’s family. We are not just individuals, but we are sons and daughters and brothers and sisters. This series will help students grow in their understanding of gospel adoption.
