## Resource

This week we celebrated 250 years as a country, with all the good and the hard parts of that history. But our scriptures point us to a freedom that goes deeper than any nation can offer. The prophet Zechariah calls believers "prisoners of hope," and it's a phrase worth sitting with. Because of who God is, hope never runs out. In this message by Deacon Cindy Millwer we look at Zechariah 9, Psalm 145, Romans 7, and Matthew 11. David praised God through a very difficult life. Paul was honest about how hard it is to keep sin out of ours. And Jesus offers rest to anyone who is weary and carrying a heavy load. You'll also hear a story from a recent hospital visit, where a woman in terrible pain found real relief the moment she turned to prayer.
