Freedom in Christ
The Freedom in Christ teaching and ministry is something all Christians can benefit from. Our vision is that all believers can have:
· Identity: secure in who we are in Christ; knowing the power available to us in the Holy Spirit;
· Freedom: from anything that could hold us back, including freedom from the baggage of our past and present;
· Purpose: released for joyful relationship with the Father, to be fruitful disciples of Jesus.
In Christ we are secure, accepted and significant children of our Father, because of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The glorious resources of God are given to us through the Holy Spirit. The Freedom in Christ course helps us to live our lives based on such Biblical truths.
More than 150 people have done the Freedom in Christ course at Emmanuel over the last few years. The course is for people who have been Christians for 5 minutes or 50 years (or anything in between), for people who feel they have issues to sort out and people who don’t – in short for every Christian.
You would be very welcome to join us on the next course, either to do the course for yourself or to learn the material in order to help others – or best of all come on the course for both reasons!
