Freedom 3.0

God has set us free from "man made religion." Religion often keeps us away from God. It makes it all about what we do instead of what God has done. I can do nothing to make God love me more or less. The easiest way to think of this is by thinking of our own children. We love them no matter what they do or say. God loves us and offers himself to us no strings attached. Man has come along and tied up all the strings. These strings keep us from God.

I grew up in a Church setting that taught us to doubt our self worth in Christ, causing fear and doubt. Always doubting if God would save me. Leaving many of us with a warped sense of self, beat down, and thinking we could never do enough. A "step child" mentality thinking I can never really get God's love.

It is true that we can never do enough, but we can know that we are going to be saved. We can have confidence before the throne of God. We are not step children, we are heirs! Kings Heirs!

New!!! Home Gatherings

Just arrived this week!
We started home gatherings this past Wednesday.
We have the following Groups:

1. Carr's Teens


2. Cook's Young Kids


3. The Shop Adults-in depth bible study

4. Mike and Alta's home-Video Study

Feel free to join one of these or start your own in your backyard.

What is a Home Gathering?

They all may look and feel very different. They will each be different to meet the needs of their community. They are geographically located to help us reach our neighbors and get to know the people around us and create new friendships. Right now most of them are laid back and fun, lots of food and conversation. This is an organic movement and will unfold at God's timing if we continue to bath it in prayer.

We need to bath this in prayer and see where God takes it. Last Wednesday we had more people in homes than we did on Sunday AM worship!
