freedom is an incredible thing


This week we have looked at several portions of Scripture that celebrate the things that God says are truth about us.  One of those big truths is about the freedom that comes with the forgiveness of God.

It is through God’s grace and His gift of Jesus that we find freedom and forgiveness of sin.  To not apply this truth keeps us in bondage and in the middle of so many struggles.

One of the greatest songs of recent days that shares this truth comes from the Newsboys.  Here are some of the lyrics:

“I’m Free” by the Newsboys

Through you the blind will see

Through you the mute will sing

Through you the dead will rise

Through you all hearts will praise

Through you the darkness flees

Through you my heart screams

I am free, yes, I am free



I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for you
I am free, Yes, I am free

Through you the kingdom comes

Through you the battle's won

Through you I'm not afraid

Through you the price is paid

Through you there's victory

Because of you my soul sings

I am free, yes, I am free…



Who the Son sets free
Is free indeed

There is nothing that can compare to the freedom that comes from allowing God to lift burdens from our lives.  May we apply what God says and experience the freedom that God desires for us to live in!

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

Romans 6:14  NLT
Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.

2 Corinthians 3:17  NLT
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
