Freedom Weekend
Foundations are important. Anyone who wants God’s best for their life must begin by building a strong foundation. The Tower of Pisa is a good example of this principle. By the time it was completed in 1372, because of weak foundations, the 190-foot tower was already leaning. For the next 600 years, the tower gradually leaned more and more until it was finally closed to tourists in 1990 for fear that it would topple. Twelve years of restoration work and twenty-seven million dollars later, the tower is again open to the public. Its foundations have been strengthened and its lean is permanently fixed at 13.5 feet.
So that our lives do not lean and eventually fall, we need to establish strong spiritual foundations. Experiencing Freedom is a time to deepen our relationship with God and focus on establishing the spiritual foundations necessary for a life-long walk with Him. It includes times of worship, Bible teaching, prayer, and personal ministry to ensure that our foundations are strong and biblical.
