“Where the Spirit of The Lord is, there is freedom.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Since arriving to serve as Minister at CBC, the exploration and discovery of freedom in God has always been a priority. Why does this freedom matter? Well, firstly because we see the need for freedom everywhere – this is true historically and today. Secondly, because freedom is biblical – God has always been in the business of freedom (Genesis 2:16; Exodus 9:1; Psalm 116:16; Psalm 118:5; Psalm 119:43-45; John 8:31-32,36; Luke 4:18-19; Romans 6:6-7; Romans 8:21; Revelation 21:4). And thirdly, because freedom has been a common theme in words and pictures shared here, even prior to my arrival. For me, the meaning of this freedom has evolved. Initially this concerned our freedom in the Holy Spirit, our openness to Him and His spiritual gifts being distributed and manifested among us. But more recently I have sensed this freedom to be associated with our knowing and accepting freedom in Jesus Christ. We may well be established Christians or have no faith at all but we equally need to know and accept that in Christ we are set free, free indeed! Wherever you are on this journey of freedom, be encouraged to join us for the journey. Have open minds and hearts to know this freedom for yourself and as we pray, Lord, have Your way in us.
