Freedom: We Have It, We Still Need It

This last weekend I had the privilege to share at our Alberta Baptist Association annual meetings about what God is doing through us at LFC.  As I had short notice about my sharing I did a quick mental survey and heart check about what God has been doing.  I was overwhelmed by all the good things that we are seeing as God is blessing our desire to follow him. 

As I pondered the great things that God is doing, the image of freedom came to mind.  I have been apart of the Church my whole life, that is a half of a century for those who are counting, and I have never felt more free than I do now. 

I shared with my brothers and sisters that we have consistently sent the message of freedom to our people in three very specific ways and they are: 

  1. Freedom to LOVE people not WIN people
  2. Freedom to BLESS our greater community not continue to bless the over blessed saints
  3. Freedom to PRIORITIZE RELATIONSHIPS over PROGRAMS

In the next number of blog posts I want to take some time to unpack these three freedoms as a reminder of the joy we have in serving the Lord and living as his ambassadors here on earth. 

Cheers,

Pastor Dennis
