Hear Our Cry

I can't help but think that as I see the protests in Iran, the desire for people to be free. The people of Iran are desiring freedom from tyranny and oppression. To have a voice.

God desires that we are free as well. In fact true freedom comes from Christ. Look at the Book of Romans chapter 10

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

That's some good stuff.

The world around us is calling out just as they are in Iran, for freedom. Not for freedom from an oppressive government, but freedom from sin, guilt, sadness, pain. Just look. They are in your classrooms, in your work place, in your own family. Calling to be free. We have the answer.

May our voice not be silent. Take those divine moments that God gives you and me to share the message. Not sure what to say, then invite them to attend a service.

I Love This Place started with an awesome response. Around 17 crossed the line of faith. It was amazing.

Wednesday, the Worship team will rehearse with Small Group to follow. I can't wait.
