Introducing The Fatherheart of God Series
This is the overview video of a new 25-part teaching series on the Fatherheart of God created by Barry Adams. This introductory video provides a brief description of each one of the topics covered in this series.

1. Knowing God As Father
This is the first teaching video in this series. In this video, Barry talks about how God wants us to know Him more than we want to know Him. Barry also unpacks the difference between knowing about God and knowing Him intimately. Knowing God as Father at a heart level completely transforms our perception of who He is and allows us to come into a very personal relationship with Him as our true Father through the revelation that comes by His Holy Spirit. 

2. Father Revealed
This is the 2nd teaching video in this series. In this video, Barry talks about how God is revealed as Father throughout the entire Bible. Though creating is what God does, Father is who He is at the very core of His being. If we want to put form to what God is truly like, all we have to do is look at His beloved Son Jesus, who came to earth two thousand years ago to be the image of the invisible God and provide our way home. 

3. Our Life Story
This is the 3rd teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about his own struggles with his earthly father and the many misconceptions he had of God being a Father to him that were rooted in his broken relationship with his dad. Barry also shares his transformation story when he discovered at a heart level that he was a much-loved son of Almighty God which led to the creation of a sermon illustration, called 'Father's Love Letter' which became an internet phenomenon. 

4. The Role Parents Play
This is the 4th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about our fundamental need to be loved and how God intended that our parents would be our first connection with His parental love. He also unpacks the role our parents play in influencing our understanding of God as a Father and how we can sometimes see God through the lens of our earthly parents which can hinder our ability to open our hearts up to God.

5. The Priority of Love
This is the 5th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about the high priority that love has in the Kingdom of God and how God desires for us to make the pursuit of His love our greatest aim in life. And as we do, God continually fills us to overflowing with His love every day. 

6. Freedom in Forgiveness
This is the 6th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how we can find greater freedom to relate to God as a Father when we are able to forgive our parents from our hearts. Forgiving and releasing our parents from past hurts and expectations, frees us up to receive parental love directly from the source of all love, and that is God the Father and that is a game changer

7. The Spirit of Sonship
This is the 7th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how the calling of the Christian life is to be conformed into the image of the Son (Romans 8:29) in every way that He expressed a Son's heart to His heavenly Father and to His earthly parents. In this session, Barry explains how we can find greater freedom to live as sons and daughters to Almighty God when we are able to break free from any unhealthy ties and judgments we have with our parents. 

8. Embracing Our New Identity
This is the 8th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how the importance of seeing ourselves as all of heaven sees us... As much loved children of Almighty God. As we embrace our new identity as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, then whatever we do here on earth no longer defines who we truly are, because true identity has eternal implications.

9. Returning To A Childlike Heart
This is the 9th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about the high value of a childlike heart in the Kingdom of God and how Jesus invites us to have a transformation in our hearts where we can turn and become like little children again so that we can awaken to the awe and wonder of living in our Father's love this side of heaven.

10. The Father's Blessing
This is the 10th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how heavenly Father desires to bless us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms and how His desire to bless His children is revealed throughout the Bible. Even if our earthly parents were unable to bless us like we needed to be blessed, we get to live under an open heaven of our Father's delight and blessings all the days of our life.

11. Restoring Childlike Trust
This is the 11th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how important it is for us to restore childlike trust in our heavenly Father so that we can live a fulfilling and peace-filled life here on earth. Barry also shares how God wants to heal all the broken places in our heart where trust was violated in our little hearts when we were children.

12. Becoming Good Receivers
This is the 12th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how the Kingdom of God works... God initiates and we receive.

13. You Are Enough

He also share the good news of the Kingdom of God which is that our heavenly Father has designed each one of us to be a unique mirror image of His being that has never been revealed before in all of history.

14. Biblical Fruitfulness
This is the 14th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how the biblical definition of fruitfulness comes from living a life filled with the love of God rather than the external measurements of productivity that we often associate with what we think our heavenly Father is looking for in us. When our gifts rests upon the unshakable foundation of the love of God, that is when we will see fruit abound in our lives.

15. We Are Heirs, Not Orphans
This is the 15th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how God sees us as His beloved children and co-heirs with Jesus and how an orphan mindset can try to prevent us from walking in our God given identity. Barry discusses the characteristics of an orphan perspective and how they pale in comparison to the amazing attributes of living as a much-loved heir of the living God.

16. Freedom From Bad Theology
This is the 16th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how bad theology over the centuries has distorted what God the Father is really like. The best way that we can know what our heavenly Father is really like is to look at His beloved Son Jesus who is His mirror image. This video helps to dispel some of the misconceptions of what God is like based on an incorrect portrayal of His nature. 

17. Freedom From Unbelief
This is the 17th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how unbelief affects our ability to walk in the tangible reality of God loving us right now and how our heavenly Father loves it when we choose to believe Him just like a little child would by the help of His Holy Spirit.

18. Freedom From Independence
This is the 18th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how God absolutely loves it when we live a completely dependent life on Him, just as Jesus lived the same way too. When we choose the pathway less travelled and become like little children again, living a life of trust and dependency, we become a grace magnet of all the wonderful things that Father has in store for us in His Kingdom.

19. Freedom From Shame
This is the 19th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how God wants to break the power of shame over our lives and exchange it for a double portion of our inheritance in Christ. When we walk free from shame, then we can also be free from anything in our lives that causes us to feel insecure and unloved, knowing that we are completely loved and accepted by our heavenly Father.

20. Freedom From Deception
This is the 20th teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how the father of lies seeks to deceive and distort the image of God's fathering love by lying about the character and nature of God. Whether its through a misrepresentation of our heavenly Father through the lens of our earthly fathers, or through broken religious leaders who have portrayed God as angry and distant. The truth that will set us free is that Jesus is the image of the invisible God and His Father loves us just like He loves His beloved Son!

21. Freedom From Worry
This is the 21st teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how worry will try and steal our joy and rob us from living in the moment with our loving heavenly Father.

22. Freedom From Fear
This is the 22nd teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how there are many expressions of fear that can cause us to live our lives imprisoned.

23. The Father of Compassion
This is the 23rd teaching video in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry shares his own story walking through 2 1/2 years of cancer treatment with his daughter and how through this difficult season, God revealed Himself to be The Father of Compassion and The God of All Comfort in deeper ways than he had ever experienced before. When we realize that God actually enters into our suffering with us, it brings a profound sense of comfort knowing that we are not alone in our struggles.

24. Occupy Your Kingdom
This is the 24th teaching video and the second last one in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry talks about how our heavenly Father has entrusted His Kingdom to every one of His sons and daughters who has the childlike faith to simply receive it like a little child would. Barry also unpacks how God wants us to occupy the unique sphere of influence that He has been delighted to give us so that we can impact the world around us and be the one-of-a-kind expression of His heart He created us to be.

25. The Kingdom Belongs To Little Children
This is the 25th teaching video and the last one in a new teaching video series by Barry Adams on the Fatherheart of God. In this video, Barry reflects on the first year of his granddaughter Riley's life and how many of the attributes of a childlike heart were spectacularly displayed in her. Since Jesus invites us to have a change of heart and become like little children again, it would serve us well to unpack the earth shaking ramifications of what that might look like to live here on planet earth as little children with a really BIG Dad!
