Celebrating 250 Years 2026

 The incredible freedom we received in Christ, released us from the recurring need to offer daily sacrifices to God. It freed us from the annual obligations to have our sins covered for another year by the insufficient blood of bulls and goats. Having been saved through our faith in Christ, ALL our sins: past, present, and future, are forgiven, and we are to put off our old former ways. We are to live by faith and we are to walk in spirit and truth.
 Some Christians use the incredible freedom we have in Christ to indulge in worldly ways and carnal activities. They exploit our spiritual privileges and pervert the Word of God by proclaiming that we are free to indulge in whatsoever ungodly acts and fleshly inclinations take our fancy. This is outrageous and such misappropriation of God's Word is unacceptable, unscriptural, and should be challenged and changed.
 We have spiritual armor to protect ourselves from the ravages of the flesh, and we have been given God's sufficient grace to stand fast in this evil day and resist the devil and all his worldly temptations. We are to live as Christ lived: in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life, and we are to love and serve one another in the same way that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us.
Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this important reminder that both legalism and a license to sin is unacceptable in the lives of children of God. Thank You for the freedom we have in Christ, and help us to live in holiness and righteousness to Your praise and glory, serving others through Christ's love, which only comes as we continue to abide in Him and He in us. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
