Welcome
“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."

July 6, 2025 - (Live Free - 2 of 3) - Called to Be Free (Galatians 5:1, 13-25)
This is our service for July 6... the first Sunday after the Fourth of July. The fireworks have faded, the cookouts are behind us, and today we gather not just to reflect on national freedom, but to ask a deeper question: what does spiritual freedom look like? In a world where “freedom” is often equated with independence and self-interest, we turn to Scripture to discover a more life-giving kind of freedom—the kind Jesus offers us through the Spirit. Not freedom from others, but freedom for others. Not freedom to escape, but freedom to love, serve, and bear fruit.
This morning, we continue our three-week series through Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In the first service of this series, we celebrated the good news that in Christ, we belong. Today, we explore the next step: we are called to be free. As an illustration, we will also look at Jesus’ sending of the 72 in Luke’s Gospel. We’ll reflect on what it means to be free—not for self-indulgence, but for peace, for purpose, and for Spirit-shaped lives that make God’s love visible in the world. So take a breath, open your heart, and let’s worship the One who has set us free.
