All Welcome!!!
Focus Statement: The invitation of Jesus to the wealthy young man was a call to freedom, to give up the “religion of money” that had kept him in chains, – in exchange for the “religion of Jesus” that would set him free. That same call to freedom is constantly being offered to all of us. Whatever it is that holds you captive, ask God to give you the wisdom to recognize it and the strength to let it go.
