July 2, 2026
On this 4th of July weekend, we are privileged to celebrate the 250th Birthday of our Nation!
In doing so, we must remember that God Almighty created this land we call home. As well, He has blessed us with phenomenal gifts and opportunities. Several of these are “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness which are documented for us in The Declaration of Independence.
To gain a clear perspective on what we have been given, I encourage you to listen to the Message I shared on Sunday June 28, 2026, titled, “Desiring God’s National Blessing.” Then listen to the Sunday Message July 5, 2026, titled, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
The United States of America has been created by Almighty God and established upon His Eternal and Holy Word. We must accept and live by His authority to be blessed by Him. To ignore and reject His sovereignty would result in experiencing His wrath as well as the destruction of our Nation!
As I look upon the current condition of the USA, I would conclude that it is a vital necessity that we as nation remember God’s goodness to us, that we repent of our ignorance and rejection of Him, and return to His blessings for us — “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!”
I hope you find yourself joining me in this understanding!
Have a very blessed Independence Day,
Pastor Rick Carpenter
