John 3:1–3, Luke 15:18–24
The Father’s heart, we must look at how God relates to His children, not merely as a ruler to servants, but as a loving Father who desires restoration, identity, and fellowship.
From the above scriptures, we find that:
1. The Father’s heart is a heart of love and acceptance
The emphasis is not on what we have done, but on what the Father has given.
The Father’s heart is: Loving before we deserve it, Welcoming before we become perfect and restoring before we can repay Him.
In Luke 15, the prodigal son returns expecting punishment or rejection, but the father; sees him from afar, runs to him, embraces him, and restores him publicly. This reveals that God’s heart is not eager to condemn but eager to restore repentant people.
Gospel of Matthew 3:13–17
The Godhead is one of the deepest mysteries in the Christian faith—the reality that God is One, yet revealed in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods, but one God in perfect unity, relationship, and purpose.
At the baptism of Jesus, this mystery is not explained—it is revealed.
Scripture Focus (Matthew 3:13–17)
At the Jordan River:
Jesus (the Son) is baptized.
The Spirit of God descends like a dove.
The Father’s voice speaks from heaven: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
GOD WHO REDEEMS TIME
Psalm 103:1-5 Joel 2:23-27 Ephesians 5:15-21
Memory Verse Joel 2:25
God redeems time for Christians and this brings hope in our walk with
God. Redeeming time is a paradigm shift of walk with God. When God redeems time alot changes, in any Christians life because you become more aware of the presence of God, the Sovereignty of God and great transformation that takes place.
As Christians we need examine ourselves we've all misused our time in one way or another but we are encouraged that God cares for all of us and He will surely restore our time that was wasted.
Psalm 28:1-5; Habakkuk 1:1-4, 3:17-18; Matthew 27:45-49;
Silence (n) is defined as the complete lack of sound or noise. As an un-/countable noun, silence is a situation when no one is talking. Following this definition, is God ever silent, or is he only silent to ‘me’? People are praying all the time, and giving testimonies about answered prayer. Is that God speaking/acting, or not?
The cry of the psalmist, “To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me ... hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help ...” (Psalm 28:1-2), is one of a man who felt that God had given him a deaf ear. David had been anointed by prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13) during the reign of King Saul and had to wait for a long time to sit on the throne. In this time, he underwent much pressure. For instance, he was well aware that the King knew that it was he David who would succeed him on the throne in Israel and not his son Jonathan. This alone caused Saul to seek to kill David countless times (1 Samuel 18 – 20). It is then no wonder that he can say that, “The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed” (Psalm 28:8).
GOD’S APPOINTED TIME
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9 and Galatians 4: 1-7.
Life often feels delayed, confusing, or out of control, but the Bible teaches that God works according to a divine schedule. What we call delay, God calls process. What we call waiting, God calls preparation. Life moves in seasons and God governs those seasons. Many struggle because they don’t understand the timing.
God has a time for everything
Every season in your life is ordained by God. There is a time to start, a time to grow, and a time to harvest. Nothing in your life is accidental, God is intentional.
