Baptism in the rain!

The rain this morning may have sent the planned outdoor service inside, but it didn't stop 3 people from being baptized!

Multiple churches represented on this project. Together we are tearing down the old Dutton Elementary playground. A portion of it will be inherited by Leighton Church to bless our kids and BCCS. Others pieces will bless others in the community. This is what the Kingdom of God looks like, when we serve and love each other in Jesus' name. His name above every other name.

On this day in history, August 15, 1996, vandals drove a bulldozer into the new Leighton Church building that was nearly completed. In the early morning hours, the bulldozer, which was on a trailer, was driven off and into the building. The dozer was left in gear to run its course through the building. However, the dozer hit a steel support beam which stopped it from going any further. The dozer track just kept moving, digging a hole in the cement. A church member drove by, noticed the damage, and called authorities and church leaders. The church was scheduled to have its first worship service on September 8th; just three and a half weeks later. God protected the building from greater damage, the construction crew worked feverishly to repair the damage, and the first worship service was held on September 8th. The vandals were never caught.

Because many Americans have never known life without freedom, it can be easy to take our liberties for granted. The Israelites, however, knew the harsh reality of slavery. Yet even after God led them out of Egypt, they struggled to embrace their newfound freedom. Faced with uncertainty, they grew fearful and complained against Moses and Aaron, longing for the familiarity of their former bo***ge rather than trusting God’s provision.

Their story feels surprisingly familiar. As Christians, we have been set free through a far greater deliverance. Our freedom was secured at a great cost through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And yet, we sometimes drift back toward old habits, attitudes and patterns that once held us captive.

Scripture reminds us to stand firm in the freedom we have been given. As Paul writes in Galatians 5:1 (NKJV), “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bo***ge.”

True freedom is not simply the absence of restraint. It is the opportunity to live fully in God’s grace, walking in obedience, joy and purpose. This kind of freedom is worth celebrating, protecting and living out every day.

As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary of independence, may we give thanks to God for the men and women who went to unthinkable measures to secure this freedom. But more importantly, may we give God thanks for going before them and giving them the courage to take a stand for their faith.
