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.
Watch the full service here (the sermon starts at 56 mins)
Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.
God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.
Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
