    Using Freedoms Wisely

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 30, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,994 views

    The Galatian church either tried to add to their freedom in Christ or abused their freedom in hurting others. Today we need to learn to serve others in love, walk in the Spirit, and stay in sync with the Spirit.

    Using Freedoms Wisely Galatians 5:1, 13-25 Freedom is a wonderful thing. This coming Thursday we’ll celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, to live in the home of the free, the land of the brave. Yet, with freedom comes responsibility.

    Peace: The Gift Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 23, 2012
     | 30,003 views

    God's peace is relational, not circumstantial. It is active and not passive. The Lord actively dispenses peace to those who minds are stayed upon Him. So keep our focus on Him and keep on praying.

    John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” It is not the Lord’s will for us to be troubled and in fear. He wants to give us peace. Peace is what everyone needs. ...read more
