We Are Free in Christ!

 

Sunday message 9.17.23 We Are Free in Christ! 

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”” John 8:32 NKJV 

Have you ever felt like there was an area of your life where you felt like you weren’t free? It could be anything where you don’t feel like you have complete control. For some it’s an addiction. It could be electronics, like spending too much time on the phone, computer, etc. It can be food addiction of some kind, or sadly, for some in the church even pornography or other things like alcohol, etc. I never struggled with food or sugar until I began raising kids. Then it got a bit out of control. 

I needed Jesus to set me free. I admit sometimes I get in the flesh and don’t always make the best choices but I thank God that He is patient with me! When we look at Jesus’ words in the verse today, we see that coming to Christ makes us free. He sets us free from those things and He fills us with His Spirit so we can be loose of those things. As Denny and I travel to Iowa this week, it’s my prayer that we will be a blessing to all with whom we come in contact and let them know how Jesus sets us free from all forms of bondage. Please pray for us to have a successful trip! 

The great thing is that when we mess up, He is patient and kind and gently and lovingly guides us back on track. He wants to always be number One in our lives, and that’s His greatest passion! He wants us to live free indeed! I am praying that you will be touched by this and helped any way you might need it. If you know anyone who might be helped by these messages, please feel free to give them my number. We love you all! 🙏🏻🥰✝️
