PREVIEWS:

Part 1: The Father-ness of God
Series: The Fatherhood Of God
Jill Briscoe
Luke 11:1-5

A bewildered human race is like a man lost in a forest asking, "Father, are you there?" In 1945, at the end of World War II, Helmut Thielicke, a brilliant theologian preaching through the Lord's Prayer to what was left of his congregation in the ruins of his church in Stuttgart, said, "Everything will be all right so long as we hear His good voice calling to us above the howling of the wolves, above the sound of branches snapping, above the ominous noises around us, God is always there." A Christian world view believes in the Fatherhood of God.

Part 2: The Forgiveness of God
Series: The Fatherhood Of God
Jill Briscoe
Luke 11:1 and Matthew 6:9-14

God came in Christ to offer us forgiveness through the cross. He rose again the third day and set about "Bringing the world back home." "Talk to me," says the Father. "Prayer is the means; I have made a way." But there is a problem: we don't know how.

I. Teach us Lord, teach us to pray - Christopher Robin
