A perfect message to begin your new year. Pastor Steven Blair discusses how we begin the new year with strings attached, just like Pinocchio and John the Baptist. These strings hold us back from the things we really want in life. Sometimes we have been attached to a string so long that we have become all tangled up. There is Good News: God knows what to do with strings.
This message explores the freedom God wants to give us and includes a challenge for what we can do with that freedom.
