You Don't Need To Earn Your Place In This Family

Sep 20, 2026  •  Noah Tyler

Join us in Romans 8:12-17 as Pastor Noah walks through how Paul gives Christians a radically different way to understand themselves and their relationship to Jesus.


You might have had to earn a place at work, in your family growing up, and maybe you failed to.


But you don't need to earn a place in the family of God.

You just need to live in the place you've already been given.


Are you living like a slave when you're invited to be a son? Consider what it means to be a child of God, to be given and inheritance, and to live in love instead of fear.


- Because you belong, you can fight what once ruled you (v12-14)

- Because you belong, you can know God as Father (v15)

- Because you belong, you can face the future with hope (v16-17)

Westmark Church exists to welcome people into the family of God and see them growing together in their relationship with Jesus.
