Independence Day | Embracing Liberty
Shared on: Jun 19, 2017
Independence day is a time for celebrating the liberty God has given us as a nation. This freedom has come through the sacrifices of many who have gone before us and is maintained today by those who stand firm in duty to continue the protection of our land. It is also a time to remember and celebrate our greater and more secure freedom in the gospel–the liberation God has given us from sin, Satan, and death through Jesus Christ. No matter what befalls our nation, God is reigning in perfect wisdom, power, and victory over all things. Use this collection of resources to instruct and inspire your community this Fourth of July.
