Today as spring slid slyly into the atmosphere my spirit was yearning to be outside. I had previously made plans with my dear friend, Josh Hernandez, to meet him at his church.
Josh’s church is called Freedom in Worship and the pastor and his wife minister primarily to the homeless.
One of the many cool things about this church is that they meet outside near the homeless shelters. They actually meet in a park. The address is 1401 East Presidio in Fort Worth, TX.
So on a day like today when I just want to be outside this is the best church in the metroplex to attend. (It is the best church even if it is 30 degrees outside but I am a lightweight in cold weather.)
It is not only the weather which draws me to this church. It is the love of Christ which flows so freely from the people who attend. The pastor’s wife gives the best ever bear hugs and the pastor is truly a God seeking man.
Pastor Llano can deliver a sermon with such intensity that it can energize you. Today the sermon opened with Llano telling us that we were God’s beloved.
Sometimes life can make you feel like a piece of trash but that does not change how God views you. You are still His beloved.
I think that this belief is key to having a God identity.
Knowing that you can never mess up so much that God thinks you are hopeless. He loves us so much that He sacrificed the one and only Son He had.
I have felt many emotions when attending different churches but when I attend Freedom in Worship I truly feel beloved. They show the love of God, they don’t just talk on and on about it.
If you live in the metroplex you may want to stop by sometime to get some lovin because this church knows how to do that better than most.
Have a Super Sabbath!
