The Festival of the Reformation

Image
We value freedom and strive to protect freedoms. But do we truly understand freedom? Freedom for many means doing what you want without control or coercion. Jesus helps us to understand true freedom: “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Heirs of the Reformation still bind themselves to Scripture. We see that when we willingly bind ourselves to truth, Jesus keeps his promise. The truth sets us free. Join us this weekend for the Festival of the Reformation. Worship opportunities:  Saturday at 5:15 pm, Sunday at 8 & 10:30 am, or Monday at 6:30 pm.

We learned about a Pharaoh who didn't want God's people to over power the Egyptians. He treated God's people very badly and enslaved them. He went so far as killing the baby boys. In God's plan, one mother saved her baby by making a basket and having the princess find him. This baby was Moses. God kept Moses' time in His hands. God had a big job for Moses when he grew up. We worked hard on the Bible passage, "My times are in your hands.&q

God's plan was a crooked, winding path full of troubles and hardships for Joseph. Sound familiar? I can look back and now see what God was moving me through to make me the person He wanted me to be.  Telemarketing, selling cable, a death in the family...all things I wouldn't normally choose, but God used them to strengthen me, teach me skills, and become the person to serve Him today.   Look back at your life and see how God has shaped you.
