Saturday The God of Freedom

Today’s message was written by guest pastor, Rev. Hunter Camp.

The God of the Bible is a God of freedom—not bondage. Like a loving mother, like a tender father, God desires the best for us. God wants us to be free from whatever may imprison us.

What has you bound up, full of worry? Anxiety over a child, loved one, or spouse? Are you a workaholic, shopaholic, or alcoholic? The list is endless. What is keeping you from being who God created you to be? 

In 1991 the author Tom Sine, writing just after the fall of communist Europe and the end of the Apartheid of South Africa wrote: “The jubilant dancing on the Berlin Wall is the dance of God. The songs of freedom sung exuberantly by South African children are the songs of God.”

God is a God of freedom. God wants you to dance the dance of freedom. God wants you to sing the song of freedom. God wants you to be free from whatever has you enslaved. For freedom, Christ has set us free.

Let us pray: Dear God, I offer myself to you. I need your power to be free from the things that bind me. I need your love to see me through this day. I need your hope to be my hope. Amen.
