11/12/14 - Red, White, and Blue Night
What do the colors red, white, and blue have to do with Jesus?
"For God so love the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16
Jesus shed his blood so that we may be washed as white as snow and forever live with Him in Heaven.
Red = the blood of Christ
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." - Ephesians 1:7
White = Being washed, white as snow of our sins
“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." - Isaiah 1:17
Blue = God's faithfulness, that we may be with Him in Heaven
"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies." - Psalm 36:5
Veteran's Day ~ Tuesday, November 11, 2014
What is a veteran?
A veteran is someone who has served in one of the branches of the United States military. They help keep our country safe against other countries that might want to harm us.
What is freedom?
We are not bound by others. We are free to worship according to God's will. The United States of America is a free country, thanks to those who serve in the military. Our flag stands for freedom with each star and stripe.
Pledge of Allegiance
When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we are promising our loyalty to our country. As a Christian, we are promising to love one another as God as commanded. We are one nation, under God; we are free to worship Him, and help to provide justice for all.
