10.30.26 YOU’RE NEVER ALONE
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.” John 14:16
Have you ever wished Jesus could physically sit beside you, ride to work with you, or help you navigate life's toughest decisions? Here's the incredible truth: God has given us something even better than having Jesus physically beside us. He's given us the Holy Spirit living INSIDE us! I challenged you last Sunday to begin talking with the Holy Spirit this week: “Wonderful Holy Spirit, tell me about Jesus. Comfort me right now. Hold me right now. Guide me right now and I will follow.”
The Holy Spirit isn't some mysterious force or strange religious experience. He's a PERSON. He's God, and He wants a personal relationship with YOU! Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would never leave us. Think about that! Wherever you go, whatever you face, and whatever tomorrow holds, God's presence goes with you.
And, He comforts us when life gets overwhelming and our hearts are hurting. He counsels us when we're confused, facing decisions, or unsure which direction to take. He convicts us when we're drifting from God's best and lovingly points us back to Jesus.
But here's the challenge: We can become so busy living our lives that we ignore the very One who wants to guide them!
Don't settle for a Spirit-LESS life when God has made a Spirit-FILLED life available to you!
Today, slow down. Acknowledge His presence. Listen for His voice. And invite Him to lead you. You were never meant to do life alone.
The Holy Spirit is WITH you, IN you, and FOR you!

We are grateful every time SQUAD Youth gathers and invests in our teens Grades 6-12. Great things are always happening.
Thank you Rogers Uniform for the refresh of our Make Men Men Again Tshirts. All sizes back in stock. Pick one up in The Shop this Sunday for $20.
Trick or Treat Downtown Williamsport was a wonderful success as 19 Champions invested 3 hours of handing out candy, smiles, church invites, and planting seeds of hope in Jesus Name. We plan to do this Trick or Treat event next year in Williamsport, but we need at least 40 Champions to really have good layers of people for the crowds. We interacted with hundreds of people. Liberty’s Trick or Treat is Saturday night.
Thank you for the thousands of candy donations! Both Locations did a great job bringing in treats and hitting our goal. All offered to Jesus through the vision of what God is doing here at Liberty. Everything is given to reach people with God’s amazing grace.
Lots of Fabulous Projects got much needed attention at our Make a Difference Days! It is more fun making a difference together at church during the week. We always have projects for all skill levels.

🎄✨ Help Us Create an Old-Fashioned Christmas! ✨🎄Christmas is coming, and we're getting excited about transforming BOTH Liberty Church locations into a beautiful, nostalgic Christmas experience! This year's Old-Fashioned Christmas theme will feature rich cranberry reds, deep evergreen, warm cream, touches of gold, and all those cozy, timeless details that remind us of Christmases gone by. AND WE'D LOVE YOUR HELP! ❤️ Before you head out to buy new decorations or pull everything out of storage, would you take a look at what you already have? Maybe there's a wreath, garland, ribbon, vintage ornament, or other Christmas treasure you won't be using this year that would fit our theme. We'd love to BORROW it for the Christmas season! We'll continue sharing inspiration photos to give you a glimpse of the atmosphere we're creating. Thank you for helping make both of our locations warm, welcoming, and full of Christmas joy as we celebrate the birth of Jesus together!

11.1 Remembering Communion & Week #2 of ‘The Ghost’ Series. The Power of the Spirit, we discover that God never intended for us to live the Christian life in our own strength, but through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit living within us. That same power gives us boldness to share Jesus, strength in our weaknesses, hope in a hopeless world, and the ability to experience the fullness of God! It’s also an extra hour of sleep for the Fall Back Time Change!

KidLand is in Week #2 of ‘Kings & Prophets.’ Our kids are learning how God helps us. We are so thankful for our KidLand Champions that pray, prepare, & show up each week to lead our kids to know Jesus and grow in their faith. It matters & God sees your faithfulness!

Let’s continue to follow the examples of our Founding Fathers: pray, fast, & vote for our nation to honor God.
