Being "re-Found"

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Feb 26, 2023

Are you the rebellious son, lost and far from God? Are you the self-righteous Pharisee, no longer capable of rejoicing when a sinner returns to God?

Luke 15:11-24 'And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ (Luke 15:23, 24) Is Re-found really a word? Well, technically, no. But for this devotional and this lesson ...read more

Why Church #5 Found In Freedom Series

Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025

We are free when our lives are uncommitted, but not to be what we were intended to be. Real freedom is not freedom "from," but freedom "for."

So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin ...read more
