We Are Built on Christ, the Living Stone
1 Peter 2:5
Peter describes believers as “living stones… built into a spiritual house.” This means:
- Our identity is not self‑made; it is God‑constructed.
- Christ is the cornerstone—the first stone, the guiding stone, the aligning stone.
- Everything in our lives must take its shape from Him.
A building only stands when every stone is aligned with the cornerstone. When Christ is our reference point—our truth, our direction, our standard—our lives become stable, purposeful, and spiritually strong.

Freedom Worth Celebrating
Galatians 5:1 — “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free…”
As we celebrate Independence Day, we honor the blessing of living in a nation where freedom is cherished. But for every believer, there is a greater freedom—one not won on a battlefield but secured on a cross. Today we reflect on the liberty Christ gives and how we are called to live it out.
Freedom in Christ Is Our True Independence
America’s independence gave us national liberty, but Christ gives us spiritual liberty. Through His sacrifice, we are freed from the bondage of sin, guilt, and shame. Galatians 5:1 urges us to stand fast—to hold firmly to the freedom Christ provides. This freedom is eternal, unshakeable, and secured by His blood.
Freedom Requires Responsibility
Just as citizens must protect and honor the freedoms of this nation, believers must steward the freedom Christ gives. Freedom is not permission to live carelessly; it is an invitation to live purposefully. We honor God’s gift of liberty when we walk in obedience, love our neighbors, and reflect Christ in our daily lives. True freedom leads to righteous living.
Freedom Calls Us to Serve Others
Independence Day reminds us of those who sacrificed for our nation. Likewise, Christ’s freedom calls us to serve—not out of obligation, but out of gratitude. Galatians 5 teaches that we are freed to love, freed to serve, and freed to build up one another. Our freedom becomes most powerful when it blesses someone else.
As we celebrate let’s thank God for the freedoms we enjoy in this country—and rejoice even more in the freedom we have in Christ. May we stand firm, live responsibly, and serve faithfully. That is freedom worth celebrating.

From the Health Ministry
Recently we have been experiencing some very high temperatures in this state and throughout the country. This extreme climate condition puts all of us at risk for heat related illnesses. Babies, young children, the elderly and people with chronic health issues are particularly vulnerable. Heat exhaustion, heat syncope and heat stroke can occur when the body’s temperature rises quickly, the ability to sweat fails and the body is unable to cool down. Immediate medical attention is needed to prevent permanent disability or even death.
Heat stroke is the most serious heat related illness. This condition occurs when core body temperature rises to 104(F) degrees or higher. Symptoms of heat stroke include but are not limited to:
1) Altered mental status, confusion, slurred speech
2) Hot, dry skin OR profuse sweating
3) Very high body temperature, seizures
4) Nausea, headaches, muscle cramps
5) Fainting, loss of consciousness
6) Dizziness, weakness, racing heart
Take the following steps to treat a person who may be having heat stroke:
1) Cool the person down as quickly as possible with wet cool compresses.
2) Remove outer clothing and move person to a cool shaded area
3) Circulate the air around the person to speed cooling
4) Call 911 for emergency medical care
When temperatures are extreme protect yourself as much as possible by taking these precautions:
1) Stay indoors as much as possible
2) Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty
3) Wear loose, lightweight loose-fitting clothes
4) Take cool showers or baths
5) Wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays
6) Take precautions with certain medication (some medication can affect the body’s ability to dissipate
heat.
We encourage you to enjoy the rest of the summer with its sunny, long days. Keep yourself safe by staying cool and hydrated.
* Health Tip *
Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink.
Hydrate Before starting outdoor activities.
