God as the Father: From Orphans to Sons and Daughters - Brian Barr

OneLife Church

Who are you? It’s a question we all ask, and the ache to define ourselves can drive us to exhaustion. Striving to prove our worth through performance leaves us feeling insecure and unstable, like living on a roller coaster. But Jesus offers a better way. In Matthew 11:28-30, He invites us to receive an identity—not one achieved through our efforts, but one rooted in His love and grace. In Christ, we are not orphans striving for validation, but beloved sons and daughters of God, secure in His acceptance and free from fear, guilt, and shame. It’s in the presence of the Father that our wounds are healed, our hearts are restored, and we can live under the blessing of His love and freedom.

You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning. Or if you’re local to the Bay Area of Houston, we’d love to have you join us in person Saturdays at 5pm and Sundays at 9am and 11am!
