Happy Independence Day weekend, church family! The fourth of July weekend is
all about celebrating freedom. As citizens, we celebrate our freedom from tyranny
and oppression. One of the most famous lines that I am sure many of you know is
this one: “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” This has been attributed to
Thomas Jefferson but it was originally stated by John Philpott Curran in 1790.
Think about that: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. As Christians, we have
been granted incredible freedom in Christ. We have been granted freedom from
guilt and from condemnation. We have been delivered from the power of sin,
Satan, and death. Yet, here is the reminder that we all need. Freedom requires
vigilance. The apostle Paul gives this exhortation in Galatians 5:13, “For you were
called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for
the flesh, but through love serve one another.” The way that we fight for the
enjoyment of the freedom that we have receive in Christ is by dedicating
ourselves to serve one another in love. So, our message this Sunday is taken from
Romans 13:8-13. It is called “Owe Nothing But to Love.” Looking forward to
worshiping with you and celebrating together the deep freedom of the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy Jesus deeply, family. Slow down and savor His grace.
Come Sunday and invite a friend. God is so good!
