April a month of freedom from DMin writing – feel alive, regain evenings/weekends Started project in Sept; first draft completed/submitted the end of March My freedom is good for another week – Content Reader feedback expected this Friday We all prize and savor our freedom (political – Richard Phillips from Somali pirates; physical, financial) As Christians, we face a paradox – we are free (in Christ), but we are also captive (to Christ) God has freed us from sin, death, and the Evil One, but we pledge voluntary allegiance to God as our leader A critical aspect of the Heroes’ Journey is surrender This provides the context for our new sermon series: “Re-Captured: A New Kind of Freedom” We’ll be reflecting on who we are in Christ and what this means in terms of how we live Our guide will be the life of Saul/Paul (he is one of the most significant people in the NT; occupying a great deal of space in the book of Acts; attributed as the author of many of the personal and congregation letters)
