Donate at https://www.patreon.com/FlaxenMusic When the Liberty bell rang at our country’s founding, the longing for freedom overflowed from the hearts of men and became a cause that united a nation. Today, once again with tyrants seeking to curtail our freedoms from all directions, we need the call for liberty more than ever. We need liberty spiritually and physically.
1. Galatians 5:1 reads, “St
and fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” His liberty is freedom from sin, freedom from the chains of drugs and alcohol, freedom to live with the peace and joy that only He can give.
2. PHYSICALLY: The US Constitution guarantees protection for the freedoms that GOD GAVE US. The 1st amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Yet the government continues to encroach on our freedoms. At Liberty Tabernacle Church, we believe that we must fight for salvation of souls and for our right to worship according to the truth of God’s Word.
• Jesus loves you enough to want to change you, not leave you in a cesspool of sin
• We preach against sin as the Bible defines it
• And the power to change as Jesus promises
• No woke ideology, but awakened to God’s truth
• The purity of truth and righteousness
• We shine the light of truth and righteousness on our rapidly deteriorating culture
At Liberty Tabernacle we believe the following (portions adapted from New Life Church, Austin TX Statement of Faith):
About the Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live (2 Tim 3.15-17). About God and Jesus Christ
There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, as the Son, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. To see Jesus is to see God. We believe that Jesus is fully God AND fully man except for the fallen (sinful) nature that resulted from the disobedience of Adam and Eve (Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16). About Sin and Salvation
Everyone is born with a sinful nature and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Rom 3.23-25; 6.23; Eph 2.8-9). About the Gospel and Conversion
The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39; 8.9-17; 10.1-48; 19.1-7). About Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and love others. We are to worship God joyfully and seek to live a life that is pleasing to him both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and actions. We are empowered to live a life pleasing to God through the Holy Spirit. As a Pentecosal church, we believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are for the church today and are available to all Spirit-filled believers (Mark 12.28-31; 1 Cor 12.8-10; 2 Cor 7.1; Rom 8.13-14; Gal 5.19-26; Heb 12.14). About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (1 Thes 4.16-17; Rev 20.11-15).
