​Pastor' Thoughts - July

​

“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” John
8:36 NLT

This is the month we celebrate freedom with vacations,
cookouts, fireworks, family gatherings, and America
declaring its independence.

The past few weeks we have been talking about our freedom
in Christ to live and serve Him. Our freedom in Christ is very
different from the freedom in the world. There are those who
believe they can obtain freedom by running away, by waging
war to gain land, by leaving their family rather than working
things out that are wrong. Freedom does not mean we can have
what we want at the expense of others.

When we are set free by Jesus, we are free to love everyone, serve
everyone, and not be upset if someone treats us bad or dislikes us.
We are truly free. To experience this, we need to ask for forgiveness
and live for Jesus.

During this month of celebrating the freedoms we have in our
country, remember to thank God for the freedom to worship freely
in our country and all the blessings we have by living for Jesus.

Blessings and love,
Pastor Stephanie
