How to Become a Child of God
John 1:6–13
This Sunday · July 19 · 10:00 a.m. CT
Merit School of Music · 2nd floor, room 210
Many people believe that every human is a child of God. Not so. All people are created by God and are his offspring in that sense, but to become a forgiven and beloved child of God we must do more than be born. In this message you will learn why and how to receive Christ.
