I trust and hope that your 2021 will be better than your 2020. It\u2019s been a difficult time for all kinds of reasons, but I think one of the hardest things we have had to endure is the sheer isolation or shall I say feeling of \u201cincarceration.\u201d Freedom to go mask-less and enjoy going to restaurants, entertainment events and in-person worship is something that we all miss immensely. But what is real \u201cfreedom\u201d? Is it simply the ability to do whatever you want? Is it the liberation from the authority of the likes of parents, teachers, bosses and the government?<\/p><p>True spiritual freedom is so much more than any of these things. It is the ability AND the power to say YES to the good things of God in our life, and NO to the things that are destructive and inhibit fellowship with our Lord as well as with others. Please tune in to our YouTube channel on Sunday January 3rd at 11: 15 AM (PST) right here: https:\/\/youtu.be\/Jho7QZB71FQ to hear more. I will be continuing our \u201cRADICAL RULES FOR DEVELOPING SPIRITUAL ROOTS SERIES\u201d where we look at \u201cTHE RULE OF RADICAL FREEDOM.\u201d<\/p><cite>Pastor Eric Kuykendall<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Connect Ministry   &quot;THE RULE OF RADICAL FREEDOM&quot;   01.03.2021\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jho7QZB71FQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/mpcbc.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Sermon-Guide-The-Rule-of-Radical-Freedom.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Sermon Guide<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/mpcbc.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Church-Bulletin-20210103.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download This Week&#8217;s Bulletin<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freedom is the ability AND the power to say YES to the good things of God in our life, and NO to the things that are destructive and inhibit fellowship with our Lord as well as with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13174,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","categories":[34],"tags":[74,84,64,75],"speaker":[],"class_list":["post-13177","sermon","type-sermon","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sermons","tag-freedom","tag-pastor-eric-kuykendall","tag-radical-rules-for-developing-spiritual-roots","tag-the-rule-of-radical-freedom"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
