Adoption into God's Family - August 21, 2011

Part 1:
Marge Vander Wagen, preaching

Is adoption rare these days or more common?  How many adoptions happened in DuPage County last year?  What are the privileges and responsibilities of the person adopted?  What do the parents give and receive when they adopt a child?  We will look at two Bible passages about adoption: Romans 8:12-17 and Galatians 4:1-7.  There are some losses to consider, but there are many more joys to celebrate.  I am adopted, are you?
