In this insightful message, Reverend John Gorin explores a unique moment in the life of Christ: the story of a young Jesus in the temple. Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, Reverend Gorin examines the only recorded event between Jesus’s birth and the start of his public ministry. He challenges us to look beyond the "Home Alone" moment experienced by Mary and Joseph and instead focus on the profound identity Jesus reveals in his Father’s house.
Whether you are starting a new year or seeking a deeper sense of belonging, this sermon offers a powerful reminder that through Christ, we are adopted into the same intimate relationship with God that Jesus modeled in the temple.

Living for a Purpose: How Jesus, even as a child, was already "connecting dots" spiritually and aligning His life with His Father’s mission.
Overcoming Barriers to "Father": A compassionate look at how we can embrace God as our "True Father," even if our earthly experiences with fatherhood were difficult or "hot-tempered".
The Gift of Adoption: Understanding the "astounding" reality that we are predestined for adoption and can cry out to God as "Abba, Father".
