    The cry of freedom is what America celebrates this week. Freedom, however, comes in many forms. The political freedom Wallace heralded and that America celebrates is but one. We would do well to remember the others. That is at least part of what Je

    We throw around many words and cliches in the church. One of those is that we are free in Christ, but what does that freedom mean? Many assume it means a freedom to do more things, but that is not what freedom in Christ is all about.

    “What Does It Mean to Have Freedom?” Introduction: Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech said some beautiful words that he quoted from an old Negro spiritual, “free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we’re free at last…” Patrick Henry famously said in a speech to the ...read more

    How well do you know Jesus, really? Jesus probes some Jews who say they believe but don’t. Jesus says the truth will set us free, but sometimes we are speaking a different language and so can’t understand what he is saying at first.

    How well do you know Jesus? Some of us grew up in church and think we know him. He’s the guy who walked on water and changed water into wine and started that Golden Rule thing. Others know Jesus as a good man who gave us a lot of good advice on how to live. To others Jesus is love guy-love your ...read more

    Does our birth / lineage / descent determine from where we came, who we are and our eternity? Born in the USA – does it really mean liberty / freedom / living the American dream?

    God offers freedom to those who admit their slavery.

    Scripture Introduction The world defines freedom as the license to do whatever we want. God (on the other hand) says it is the ability to do whatever is right. Human freedom flows from obedience.

I didn’t realize until this week that Mick and the Stones recorded the song “I’m Free” on September 6-7, 1965. That ...read more
