Freedom at the Cross

This July 4 weekend and Communion Sunday, we are taking a pause from our study of Abraham to focus on freedom.

While we give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, Romans 6 points us to an even greater freedom: the spiritual life and freedom that come through the cross of Jesus Christ.

Paul reminds us that those who belong to Christ have been united with Him in His death and resurrection. We are no longer slaves to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Communion brings us back to the sacrifice of Jesus — His body given and His blood shed for us. Through the cross, we are forgiven, redeemed, and set free to live a new life for the glory of God.
