Adopted: Adoption As A Model

After looking last week at the picture of adoption that God uses
to describe His relationship with us, we look at what role God
has asked us to play in defending the weak and helping those who
are most disadvantaged. We see in James 1:27 that the purest form
of religion in the sight of God is the care of orphans and widows
and refusing to allow the world to bring you back to the things
you once worshipped. In just our state alone, there are 10,000
children in the foster care system and about half of them are in
group homes. Pastor Stephen talks about how you might not
necessarily be in a position to foster or adopt, we know from the
Bible that God calls His followers to not turn a blind eye to the
problem and do something! Find out in this week’s teaching how
God might be asking you to step out and advocate for those most
disadvantaged.
