Welcome to today’s message. Our message today is from Romans 12:1-21, and titled “Place Your Life Before God.” Pastor Harold unpacks Romans 12:1-21, which is one of the Bible’s most quoted chapters. The two main points the entire message is built on is our lives being a living sacrifice by the renewal of our mind and practical application, where we live our sacrificed by practicing Love and Service in all of our affairs.

Today’s message for Sunday, July 5, 2020, is titled “A Special Kind of Freedom.” In our message today, Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 and helps us understand the difference between the “world system” versus “The Kingdom of God.” The principalities and powers of this world influence our lives to the point of delusion, where we believe we are in full control of our lives. Human beings tend to reject God because they wish to play God themselves and rule their own lives. This lust and quest to do what we want, how we want, and when we want, has been in existence since “the fall of humankind” in the Garden of Eden. If we are honest with ourselves, when we look back at our lives as individuals, as America and the world, we see where we made decisions based on self, which later put us in a position to be hurt. To become genuinely free can only happen when we put our will in line with God.
