FREEDOM
Whether it’s in reference to religious freedom, freedom of speech, or any of the many constitutional freedoms we feel entitled to as Americans, freedom is a cultural hot topic right now. It would be easy for us to jump into the muddied waters of the current cultural climate with our own understandings, definitions, and preconceived ideas of what our freedom means to us. But as Christians, it is our obligation to filter our understandings through the mind of of Christ.
Join us this month as we take time to look at what the Bible says about Freedom.
Follow us on Facebook for encouraging quotes and empowering scripture verses that point to how we can walk out our Freedom in Christ.
Head over to our “A Song” page to check out this month’s playlist of worship songs all about the topic of the Freedom we find in Christ.
Do your own study of our Freedom as believers in Christ by reading through the Bible passages below.
Take some time to reflect on what God is speaking to you about Freedom according to His word and share your thoughts in the commentS below.
