Weekly Update - 1/10

Thank you Patrick for the message this morning "Freedom", with the text taken from John 8:31-27.
How can we experience this true freedom?
*the first concept is DISCIPLESHIP (31-32)
*the second conccept is DECEPTION (33-34)
*the 3rd concept is DELIVERANCE (35-36)

Some never accept the challenge to test HIM.
Some test HIM, but are not willing to believe the outcome.

Verse 47...you don't hear HIM because you are NOT of HIM!

Your challenge for this year....BE IN THE WORD EVERYDAY!
1. Find the time.
2. Find a quiet place.
3. Pray before you read - that God will speak to you!
There are many websites that you can use.  Patrick recommended www.americanbible.org
