What does it really mean to respect the Father? In this powerful message, Pastor Detra Carter reminds us that God is not only our Creator, He is our perfect Father. He gives us identity, protects His children, provides for us, and calls us to honor Him with our whole lives. Through Scriptures like Romans 8, Exodus 4, Deuteronomy 10, and Isaiah 43, this sermon challenges us to put away every competing “god” in our lives and return to wholehearted devotion to the Lord.
 

The church still matters because Jesus is building it—and it’s the primary way His message reaches the world.

People aren’t being invited into an obligation - they’re being invited into a life-giving experience with God and others.

We invite people because Jesus sent us - and because one invitation can change someone’s life.

The ultimate goal is to finish well and receive the crown of life. This sermon will focus on maintaining focus and passion for God until the end, ensuring that every step taken is in pursuit of His glory and eternal reward.
