Freedom Child Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 19, 2015

Why would God send Moses as a baby? He's supposed to be a "deliverer"... and it's going to take 80 years to grow into the job! Why did God do it that way?

I read the true story of a Sunday School for 4-year-olds'. Most of the children were known to the teacher, but this Sunday a little boy showed up without any identification. The teacher managed to get his first name, but couldn't find out his last name. "Brian, what's your daddy's name?" she ...read more

Servant Of Freedom Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 3, 2015

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 24, 2015

150 years Memorial Day was initiated after the Civil War. But Americans have difficulty remembering when this special day began and why its important to our nation. But 3400 years ago, God initiated His own "Memorial Day". Do you know when & why it began?

The ceremony was held in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. The former slaves dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give ...read more

THE FREEDOM OF FORGIVENESS Matthew 18:21-35 In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus teaches his disciples how to respond to a sinning brother.

Freedom To Choose

Contributed by Paul Searight on Mar 27, 2010

In Christ we have freedom to choose. In a choice laden world do we make the right choices. We made the big choice, God, but are we daily making the right choices? Are we taking our sin seriously? With freedom comes responsibility.

Jesus said He came to set us free from sin. But do we all sin? If I’m free from sin, does that mean I’m not in slavery? And, if I’m free from sin, does that mean I’ll come to a point in my life when I never sin again?
