Fellowship With God

Freedom is found and maintained in an everyday relationship with Jesus!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 ESV

The real Jesus changes people.

We were created for a real deal right and tight relationship with Jesus. (Lost without Him)

Jesus is our true north, our guiding light, our moral compass, our constant help...

There is a way that seems right to a man but it only brings him death… Proverbs 14:12

If you seek me you will find me… Jeremiah 29:13

I'll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed. I'll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. You'll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You'll be my people! I'll be your God! Ezekiel 36:26-28 MSG

Nothing can satisfy the soul except living in the love of the God.

We need Jesus like a fish needs water, all the time.

In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28 ESV

Don’t let your life be so full of the trivial that you have no room for the eternal. (Junk vs Jesus)

Never allow shame to rob you of the freedom God can give for you.


So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. Romans 8:1-2 NLT

Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. Romans 8:12-16 NLT

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. John 26:26-28 NKJV
