Finding Great Light Even in the Deepest Darkness

Join us as we journey through the story of the Babylonian Conquest where our ancestors were faced with an exile from a place of peace and prosperity. They were forced out of their home into unknown territory. Watch how God can show up even in our deepest despair, even when we feel godless we can simply open ourselves for guidance and Trust.

Freedom is Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose …

What’s does freedom and independence mean to you at this time of seemingly self-imprisoned times?
Here’s a couple of thoughts to ponder during this weekend’s celebration of our freedom from tyranny…are we really free? Are we ALL free?

Here’s how the bible defines true freedom. Galatians 5:13-14: You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 “Now God is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of God is…. there is freedom.
And finally from Abraham Lincoln, a true believer in freedom for ALL.
“Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.”
