Everyone enjoys being free, having the choice to do and say as one desires. Our country is full of freedom. Some might say our country loves freedom. We may be free in several ways—but what about being free from sin? A lot of individuals chose to indulge in freedoms that are encircled with sin, thinking it’s okay to do this because I have the freedom to. However, the Bible is contrary to that logic, stating that most of the passions of our flesh lead us into greater sin and darkness. We are concluding our sermon series, Emmanuel: God with Us, looking at the incarnation of Jesus; and how His birth and resurrection saved the world. Through God sending His Son, Christ has given us freedom—if we believe in Him. We can embrace God’s redemption in Jesus alone; by recognizing our condition, trusting in Gods saving action, and receiving His adoption. True freedom is found in Jesus—not the kind that allows us to do whatever we want; but the kind of freedom that releases us from sin, shame, and darkness. Join us in the final sermon of this series, The Incarnation of Redemption, and be encouraged as hear about redemption through Jesus. Merry Christmas church family!
