We celebrate our spiritual liberty and the freedoms we have in Christ.

God mad mankind in His image, which means we are sacred-set apart. Unlike what the world teaches today we are created and have a purpose in life- therefore, we all have value- Believers need to be proclaiming this and living this everyday.

Sin separates us from God now and will be eternally punished in hell when we die. We try all manner of things to be right with God -to be saved-- heritage, politics, progress, wisdom, knowledge, baptism, purity, works, and more. Yet, all utterly fail- because there is nothing by the blood of Jesus Christ that can save you and restore you to God.

Do you error not knowing the scriptures or the power of God-

Shame- we all try to avoid it. Our society acts as if it no longer exists, but shame is what helps keep us within the boundaries of acceptable behavior. However, we should not feel same for things not under our control or inactive, past sins covered by Christ. If you have been saved, Christ took upon your shame and thus you are at liberty. The only time we should have shame is when we are actively and unrepetitively sinning or unsaved.

As believers we are different parts made up into one body with Christ as our head providing nourishment and direction. The scriptures reveal we are knit together in the bonds of love for God and for each other. Being together is how we have the full richness of our salvation, joy, and assurance. We are robbed and cheated of this fullness if we are not united with the body -and the body may not function as well if 'you' are missing. Podcast, TV, Radio, Facebook live, megachurches, and more are not replacements for being joined with the local body of Christ.

On this Mothers Day we are reminded that mothers and women are under attack in our society. Society says they are birthing persons, pregnant people, and contends there is no difference. But God says otherwise, which is what make women unique, need, and valuable. We encourage them to continue being caring, nurturing, affectionate, kind, and protective as they mold others around them to be more like Christ.

Have you wrested with God- Many of us have and learned that the only way to win is to submit to Him. Jacob leans this lesson and becomes Israel.

We have been commissioned, entrusted with a duty, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not to be nice, helpful, friendly, or giving, but to make disciples by going, baptizing, and teaching. We proclaim the truth of God and allow his power to give this increase.

What is of first importance- That, -Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.- Therefore be steadfast, immovable, and know that your faith is not in vain. The grave is empty and He is victorious-
