Freedom

As 4 th of July approaches, we begin to think about the freedoms we have as a country. We live in a great country. We truly are blessed in so many ways. I know my kids enjoy shooting fireworks off at grandma's house. Unfortunately, Bethany and I are cheap and don't buy them fireworks. Maybe when they get older. We will worship at Hesston MB on Sunday and then head to Yates Center for the afternoon and evening for fireworks and most of the day on Monday. Both Bethany and I have to be back for Monday night meetings. Even better than our freedom as a country is our freedom in Christ. Think about these verses: 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom ." Romans 8:1-2 says, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Have a safe and fun 4 th of July! Re...

Highlights of the Week

It was a busy week as I prepared for a Sunday message and took the 4 kids to Yates Center Friday and Saturday. Here are a few highlights from the week: Evening with the Humphreys on Monday Sermon Preparation all week-it's always good to study God's Word and meditate on it Church Family Park & Pool Night on Wednesday-fun eating together, playing kickball and swimming. Thanks to Brett & Ron Buhrman , Jon Ewert , Derek Roth for help in moving ice cream machine. And thanks to Chris Roth for letting us borrow the machine. The kids loved the ice cream!
