Freedom in Christ—by Chris Ogbonnaya
March 6, 2023
Sermon summary:
Who are the freest people in the world? Those who are free from the world.
Galatians 5: 1 For freedom Christ has set us free—from the circumstances of life, position, title, etc. Don't live as a captive of the world. Live as people who are free to love others and do good to all.

In Acts 2 we read two passages of scripture that form the blueprint for our beliefs. The early church was centred, they allowed themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus at the centre of our lives?
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
