Summary
Psalm 103 reveals God as a compassionate, patient, and committed father whose character stands in stark contrast to earthly father wounds. The sermon calls listeners to receive God's fatherhood through Christ and live as beloved children of God, not through performance but through the security of his steadfast covenant love.
Highlights
Your heavenly father is not a reflection of your earthly father, but a perfection of him.
God is too loving to be indifferent towards his kids. He's not a permissive parent who just says go for it. No, he's an involved father who wants to mold us into the people he's making us into.
Jesus was forsaken so you could have God as Father. The cross is God screaming at you, I'm all in, and I am committed to you forever.
