As Independence Day approaches, many will celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. But this Sunday, we invite you to discover a freedom far greater—one that can’t be earned through politics or preserved by power. It’s the true and lasting freedom that only comes through the grace of God.
In a world full of fear, division, and confusion, the message of Galatians 5:1, 13–14 couldn’t be more relevant: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Join us as Pastor Chris Teien shares a powerful message about what it really means to be free—not just from sin, guilt, and shame, but also from fear, purposelessness, and spiritual bondage.
We’ll also explore what it looks like to live with conviction and compassion in today’s culture—standing for truth, loving our neighbors, and using our freedom to serve, not to indulge. Whether you’re feeling weighed down or searching for deeper meaning, this message will bring hope and direction.
