"Freedom"

  “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.” Galatians 5:1, 13          

As we celebrate the Fourth of July this week we are called to remember. We remember and give thanks for the vision of our forefathers and mothers who battled great obstacles to “begin a new thing” here in this great land we now call the United States of America. We also remember the men and women who defend our freedom including those of our church family. 

We also celebrate that our ultimate freedom is in Christ Jesus; who by the power of the cross and resurrection gives us the ultimate victory over sin and death. Because of this promise, the faithful can live without fear.  

Are we living in this freedom?  

Abiding in His Peace,
