Freedom
John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
I am thankful for America.
We have freedom here because of the brave ones who fought to secure our liberty. We have this freedom because of those who gave their lives in the fight for liberty. We enjoy this freedom because our forefathers looked to God’s Word for wisdom in laying the foundation for a new nation. We have this freedom because of people who saw the principles of freedom found in the Bible stood against the tyranny of a king who sought to use the people for his own purposes, even claiming divine authority for his edicts.
Sadly, through the years, the American people have used and even abused the freedoms that made our country so attractive to the masses who came to this land from other nations because of the promise of hope and opportunity that America represented. For the most part, we have turned away from the One from Whom we learned and gained those freedoms from the start.
True freedom doesn’t just exist because external constraints are removed. True freedom is found in Christ.
While we are so grateful for the freedom we experience in the United States, there is a much deeper inner liberation that comes from salvation through Jesus Christ. This is the message we share. This is the good news that all need to hear.
People in all nations experience this great freedom when they put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is the most powerful freedom we can have - the kind that liberates us from the bondage of sin, fear, shame, and eternal death. In Christ, we are released from the weight of guilt and the power of darkness, and brought into the light of God’s grace.
This is the freedom that empowers us to live in truth, love, and purpose—no longer enslaved to the world’s empty promises, but secure in the identity and hope we have as children of God.
Let freedom ring!

This Month's Featured Ministry Team
Each month this year, we are featuring a different ministry team. We are grateful for the way each team serves so faithfully to help us accomplish the ministry to which God has called us.
Discipleship
Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. If you have trusted in Jesus, I want to encourage you to take the next step by joining our 14-week one-on-one discipleship course. It’s a great way to deepen your faith, ask questions, and build a lasting friendship with someone in our church family.
Our disciplers are a vital part of helping new believers feel at home and grow in their walk with the Lord.
Whether you’re ready to be discipled or you’ve completed Continue and are ready to disciple someone else, we’d love to hear from you.
