America's 250th Birthday
HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY
From the Pastor’s Desk
Before the shot that was heard around the world the American rebels were told to surrender to the King of England. The reply was “We have no king except Jesus”. Our country began as one nation under God (the God of the Bible). The flag that we fly is referred to as ” Old Glory” and our songs asks God to “Shed His Grace on Thee”. The stars and stripes and even the red, white and blue on our flag are symbolic of a nation that has been forged in the hands of God. Our declaration of independence of 1776 (250 years ago) declares that all people are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights”. These rights guarantee us the freedom and the liberty that we experience as citizens of this great nation. As Christian believers we also experience this “true freedom” from the tyrant of “sin”. But through our King Jesus we are set at liberty to walk in the WAY of our Creator – Both as citizens of heaven and members of this great nation. Today, we will explore our Christian foundations as we celebrate not only our faith but the 250th
Birthday of the United States of America!
