Independence Day is just a few days away. Around the country people will gather together, have cookouts, eat homemade ice cream and after dark commence to blow things up, all in the name of freedom. Could there be anything more American?! In Christ, though, we have a greater freedom, indeed the greatest freedom. In him we are free from sin and the death that it brings. In Him we are free to enjoy peace with God for all eternity. Jesus says it best in John 8. He describes our condition when left to our own devices in verse 34, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.” Then in verse 36 he says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This year as you gather to celebrate the freedom, we experience in our country I hope you also take time to relish in the freedom we have in Christ. May we be ever thankful to our Heavenly Father who has given us all things in Christ. If you have not come to Christ in saving faith, ultimate freedom is available to you if you will trust Him alone for salvation. Also Don’t forget we will begin watching the Patterns of Evidence series the 11th at 5pm. You can find more details by clicking the link below. As always, if there is anything I can do for any of you please don’t hesitate to let me know.
