Jesus Gives You Eternal Freedom

This coming weekend, as the 4th of July weekend rolls around, we will celebrate FREEDOM—and particularly the freedom in Christ that Christians so greatly enjoy!

I read about Nelson Mandelas experience upon being given his freedom from a very long imprisonment. He was angry and put his experience in these words:

“As I walked across the courtyard that day I thought to myself, ‘They’ve taken everything from you that matters. Your cause is dead. You family is gone. Your friends have been killed. Now they’re releasing you, but there’s nothing left for you out there.’

“And I hated them for what they had taken from me. Then, I sensed an inner voice saying to me, ‘Nelson! For twenty-seven years you were their prisoner, but you were always a free man! Don’t allow them to make you into a free man, only to turn you into their prisoner!’”

Through personally receiving and sharing with others Gods forgiveness, we gain the freedom to become a healthy, whole, powerful person!

Please join us on Sabbath at 11 a.m. to learn about freedom you can celebrate every day of the year with the Love of Christ with our supportive church community.

We have free childcare during the service so we hope you can join us Saturday morning!
