Gods Acre On the Go: Set Free for Something More

As the Fourth of July brings fireworks and flags, many of us pause to celebrate independence. But what kind of freedom are we really celebrating—and what kind of freedom does Scripture invite us into? In Galatians 5:1, 13–25, the Apostle Paul redefines freedom not as the right to do whatever we want, but as the gift to love well. True freedom, Paul says, comes through Christ and is lived out through the Spirit. It’s not freedom from all expectations—but freedom for something greater: for love, for community, for fruit that blesses others. This week’s message explores how Spirit-led freedom shapes our habits, deepens our relationships, and challenges our cultural definitions of liberty. With stories, honest questions, and practical insight, we’re invited to walk by the Spirit and let our freedom bear fruit. Love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness aren’t rules—they’re signs of a transformed life.
