The Lord is Risen Indeed

A Father's Declaration on Father's Day

What does it mean to hear the Father's approval over your life? In this special Father's Day Deep Dive, we unpack Pastor Malcolm Macqueen's powerful message, A Father's Declaration on Father's Day, based on Matthew 3:17. Before Jesus preached a sermon, performed a miracle or fulfilled His earthly mission, the Father declared, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Why is that significant, and what does it teach us about our own relationship with God today? Join us as we explore the four truths the Father declared about His Son: His relationship with the Father, His reflective nature, His earthly reputation and His unwavering resolve to fulfil His mission. Along the way, we discuss the difference between independence and dependence on God, the challenge of living in a world with misplaced priorities and how believers can reflect the character of Christ in everyday life. This conversation is both practical and encouraging, reminding us that everything flows from our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Whether you're navigating difficult relationships, carrying burdens, wrestling with life's pressures or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this episode will inspire you to place God at the centre and pursue His approval above all else. Be encouraged to live with purpose, walk in humility, serve others faithfully and finish your race well, just as Jesus did. In This Episode: * Why God's approval comes from relationship before achievement * The meaning of an inseparable, intimate and interdependent relationship with God * Divine order versus the world's upside-down priorities * Reflecting the nature, words, works and wisdom of Christ * The power of humility, servanthood and submission * How to develop a Christ-like resolve to fulfil God's purpose for your life * Why your past should be a place of reference, not a place of residence A thoughtful and faith-building conversation that will challenge your perspective, strengthen your walk with God and encourage you to pursue the Father's heart.

In this thought-provoking Deep Dive episode, we unpack Pastor Rob Baldwin's powerful sermon, Progressive Prayer, delivered at KCC AoG Church in Old Town, Swindon on 7th June 2026.
