Church Uncomplicated
Let’s face it, life is complicated. In a world filled with stress, deadlines, to-do lists, schedules, and more broken promises than kept ones, our lives feel more chaos than comfort, more failure than fortune. Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone, somewhere who could make life simple? There is. His name is Jesus. And that’s why at Immanuel we preach and teach the simple message of Jesus Christ for us. We use simple means to convey surreal truth. We ask the simplest thing: come. Come hear his life giving, life changing, life liberating word. It’s that simple.

CAUSE / EFFECT TRUTH / FREEDOM /(FESTIVAL OF THE REFORMATION)
Many people believe that freedom means being able to do whatever you want. Jesus teaches that is absolutely false. “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31,32). Jesus says that living however you want does not make you free. In fact, if you take that attitude toward life you will end up a slave. You will only be free— spiritually, emotionally, eternally—“If you hold to my teaching” and therefore “know the truth.” Truth is the cause that effects freedom. A key principle Martin Luther established through the Reformation is sola scriptura, Scripture alone. Who or what is the final arbiter of the truth that provides freedom? Scripture alone. Heirs of the Reformation still bind themselves to Scripture. Does restricting ourselves in this manner curtail freedom? Just the opposite is true. God’s truth brings freedom from slavery to sinful delusions and the burden of guilt. This week we celebrate this cause and effect—the truth sets us free!
