"Adopted Into God’s Family"
In this heartfelt message from Luke 16:19–31, Rev. Billy Cerveny weaves personal stories, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, and his own experiences of being “chosen” into a powerful reminder of God’s adopting love. He explores how our deepest longing is to be seen, invited, and given a place to belong—and how the gospel fulfills that desire. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are no longer nameless or defined by wealth, shame, or brokenness—we are chosen, adopted, and called sons and daughters of God. Rev. Billy reminds us that this new identity reshapes everything: how we live, how we see others, and how we extend God’s invitation to the world.
