Dr. Russell Moore On Adoption

0 Comments

Join us on Sunday, September 19, as Dr. Russell Moore of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary comes to teach on our adoption as children of God, and our call from God to care for orphans.

Dr. Moore summarizes his upcoming message in this way: “Not every Christian is called to adopt. But every Christian is called to care for widows and orphans in their distress (Jas. 1:27) As we see our own adoption in Christ, we learn to embrace our Father God’s heart for the fatherless. And as we care for the world’s orphans, the more we will see the radical glory of what God has done for us in the gospel.”
