P.O.W. - Freedom
I am writing this just before Highlife on September 17th. In just a couple hours I will be sharing with you a few things about freedom. My hope is that after tonight you seriously think about this whole freedom thing in a new way. I hope that this post will be filled with comments from some of your thoughts on this subject and that maybe even stories of victory will be written from some of you who are experiencing the freedom that comes from Christ. It is so easy to become a slave to so many things, and yet it is so easy for Jesus to take those things and make you free. So, click on the comments button to this post and start writing your thoughts down.

I really enjoyed the message tonight. It was the first one that has hit me so deeply in a while. The coast rica video was intense and got me thinking about everything that cages me in and pulls me from God. Tonight I was challenged to get rid of those chains, which is something I'm really inspired to work on. Thank you. Oh, Adam, please, no matter how many votes you get, don't frost your hair! :)
I loved the message tonight because it was refreshing! over and over again we here this happy "jesus is gonna bless you" gospel and it isn't the truth. He gives AND takes away! it is important that people know that being a Christian means giving up everything and following Jesus.
So these past couple of weeks I've been really convicted. For being the "Christian group" at school we sure do talk about worldly things and rarely talk about the glory of God. Well, that is when we are together at least. But it was really cool because the weekend after that sermon we were at Garons birthday party and i walked into a conversation of alot of our friends giving the reason of thier faith and want they want to do to honor Jesus, and it was cool. but since then its been a constant battle for me. But then after this last weeks message i realized that it isn't hard at all to talk about Jesus because this is His life not mine and Sarah and I are now accountability partners to keep our thoughts and conversations on Jesus.
Julie - I agree with you so much. The call is high and it's a challenge to live it. I know you are trying.
Codee - I am so excited to hear you are out there talking about that stuff. Having a great friend like Sarah to try and follow Christ with is awesome.
I love this new series! I wasn't sure at first whether I would, because I really don't like war themes, but this series has really challenged me over the last couple of weeks. I've done some things that I really regret, but I know that God will still love me and forgive me, no matter what. What a joy I've found in that!
What Adam said about taking Jesus in that cage so you have Him wherever you go really hit home. I realized that I've told Him to take the backseat, and let me do all the work. That challenged me to get out of the cage and leave it behind, and with Christ's help, I'll keep from returning to the cage!
Can't wait for next week!

P.S. I think you should cut your hair, Adam!
