Personal Responsibility

Today's lesson explained how to live out the freedom you have as a believer. The scripture was from Romans 6:8-18. Becoming believers does not give us license to sin, but the freedom to choose what matters and what is truly valuable. Living free in Christ means making responsible choices and taking responsible actions. "To be joyful, content, and full of life....follow God." {Don Beasley}

We were happy to welcome visitors John and Martha Seeley today!
