Like the Father—by Jake Graham

Sermon recap:
In God's story, he created men and women in his image and invited us to reflect His character and care for his creation. He delights in walking with us—not because we earn his love, but because he freely gives it. Though we often chase false gods, God’s presence remains with us. There’s no image of him because we are meant to represent him. Even when we’re unlovable, the Father still loves us. In Christ, we’re called to live in the freedom and joy of his forgiveness. In case you missed it, you can watch this Father's Day lesson on our YouTube channel, it starts at 43 minutes.
True righteousness is justice in practice: following Jesus by seeking what is right, defending the vulnerable, and restoring dignity to those around us.
Put God first by crucifying the idols that steal your time, money and talent. Prioritise Jesus's kingdom, make spiritual effort, and give your best to grow.
Conflict begins in the heart. Jesus calls us to own our part, pursue peace, avoid gossip, show mercy and bless rather than avenge.
