Podcasts about our freedom in christ

Pastor Sean points toward three key takeaways in today's passage. First, Paul urges the Galatians to stand in their freedom. Second, Theology matters for all who trust in Jesus for salvation... not just the pastor and elders. Third, Paul explains the reason and importance for holy living. Our freedom in Christ and theology from His word should lead us to live as Jesus told His disciples in John 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."

Freedom in ChristRomans 8:1-4; 31-39; 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 I. In Jesus, there is freedom from sin and death.II. In providing for our freedom, God expresses His amazing grace.III. When you experience justification, you are set free from the penalty of sin.IV. Our freedom in Christ empowers a Spirit-led life.V. As we are being sanctified, we are set free from the power of sin in our lives.A. Gospel Truth: God is for us.B. Gospel Truth: God gives us our value.C. Gospel Truth: God loves you with an unending love.VI. When glorification occurs, we are set free from the presence of sin.

The great news of the gospel is that we are saved from sin and set free to live freely. Today we look at how this truth goes further than just being from from making mistakes and dives into the freedom we have to own our mistakes, repent, and lead our families in making new choices because we are free. Our freedom in Christ isn't license to make excuses, but rather a declaration of our need and the chance to see real, spiritual freedom come even into our technology.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4fEUQDR

Our freedom in Christ is not for the purpose of self autonomy instead it is to be used to love others. We are free to live in a way that serves others. Specifically we serve them by participating in the restoration of a fellow believer that is over taken in sin.

Steve Ray delivered this talk, "Jubilee and Our Freedom in Christ", at the 2022 Defending the Faith Steubenville Conference.

Paul defends the gospel of grace against those who would make us slaves to the law.We'll consider:- The slavery of legalism.- Our freedom in Christ.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Joe PoppeTexts:Galatians 2:1–10Acts 11:19–30Series:Galatians

Our freedom in Christ is given, but something that is often overlooked or even misunderstood is that it must be guarded. We have enemies that will oppose our freedom on a daily basis and our greatest enemy is that sinful, selfish, hardened, unrepentant, and un-surrendered version of ourselves. Through Galatians 5:13-26 we are going to allow the Apostle Paul to pastor us in how it is that we stay free from the power of the flesh.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Galatians 5:13-26, Romans 8:13, 1 Peter 2:11, Luke 9:23, Galatians 6:7-8, John 15:1-7 Series: Freedom In Christ   This is the 4th session in the series, "Freedom in Christ".   For more information go to www.bendixon.org

In the message "I Choose To Be Free," Pastor Steve reminds us of the freedom we have in Christ. The Spirit of God is in us and we are no longer bound to sin. Our freedom in Christ allows us to live a new life in Him and to bring this same freedom to those oppressed by sin.

Our freedom in Christ allows us to live fruitful lives. When we decide to follow the Holy Spirit steadily, day in and day out, we are bound to reap a harvest that blesses us not only but also allows us the opportunity and strength to carry someone else's burden. 

Our freedom in Christ leads us to gladly submit to the governing authorities as worship to God and as witness to the lost.

Bible Study & Devotional 263 Guiding Scripture: Galatians 5:13 ‘You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.' Selfless Incentive written by: Torrie Slaughter As Paul continues his letter to the Galatian church, we glean helpful instruction. For many of us, love seems simple, but it is a pearl of complex wisdom that we grow in as we seek Jesus. Scripture tells us not to worship idols or other gods (Exodus 20:5). Our freedom in Christ is an opportunity to testify to His greatness and mercy. Yes, it is a privilege to serve at the Master's command, but just as Jesus humbled Himself and washed the feet of His known enemies, we should exercise that exact obedience.

A new MP3 sermon from Concord Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Freedom From Discouragement Subtitle: Our Freedom In Christ Speaker: Dr. Bradley Boone Broadcaster: Concord Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 8/1/2022 Length: 49 min.

As we celebrate independence and freedom in our nation, it's an important time to reflect on the true, enduring freedom we have in Christ. Jesus' completed work on the cross, His resurrection, and Him imminent return provide us with eternal freedom from sin and death. However, we can be tempted to misuse this freedom, taking advantage of grace and turning to the sin we've been freed from or burdening ourselves with rules and moralism to prove our worth or even viewing our individual freedoms as the end goal. Jesus calls us to something more radical: to use our freedom in Him to humble ourselves and serve others. Rather than using our freedom for our own advantage, we are to lay down our rights in service and love for one another. Jesus Himself exemplified this ideal best by laying down His rights as God to become the perfect example of a servant. Our freedom in Christ allows us to live this way without fear, knowing that we are totally secure in our liberty in eternity with Him.

Do not give false testimony against your neighbor. [Exodus 20:16] Fake news, anyone? Lying has become so pervasive in our society today, we barely bat an eye at it anymore. But it turns out there's a good reason that it's included as one of the Ten Commandments. Pastor Paul and Mark examine the concept of truth and its opposite in today's episode of A Fresh Take as they dive first into a discussion of ethics (When is lying justified? Why do we have to follow rules? Shouldn't I decide for myself which laws to obey?) before turning to the ninth commandment and beginning to scratch the surface on why God would make such a point of telling us to the truthful. Far from restraining us, the law of liberty, love and Christ is the one that sets us free. Our freedom in Christ might look different than the rest of the world's, but ultimately it is our attractive ethic of living that will help attract others to the Savior. :: VIDEO PODCAST :: A Fresh Take is on YouTube, too!

Our freedom in Christ is “base camp” from which all of our subsequent activities start. How are you using your freedom?

​Our freedom in Christ is not a license to sin, it's an invitation to serve others in love.

Our freedom in Christ expressed in daily spiritual rhythms

What happens when your freedom collides with someone else's weakness or vulnerability? Are there ever limits to our freedom in Christ? In this message, Chris Inman wraps up our Relationship Reset series with a message on our limits based on Romans 14:13-23. This message is the second part to a two-part message that Pastor Scott started last week and was unable to complete due to illness. The big idea - Our freedom in Christ has a bigger purpose than our selfishness and limits beyond our preferences - will challenge how you think about current challenges you're facing in your relationships.

Our freedom in Christ doesn't mean autonomy or abolition from all restraint on the self.  No, it means we are free IN Christ.  He has freed us, IN HIM.  The extent to which we live in Him, will be the extent to which we will be free. As we live in Him we will resemble our Father's heart in this world and we will paradoxically be more of who we are – in Him.  We become more of who we are when we awaken to our real life in him.   When we live in Him, we show off our family resemblance and we become more of ourselves. Live in the light of who we are in Him.

We have been given freedom in Christ Jesus and are not in bondage to the Law. The liberty we have received in Christ Jesus allows us to have life and life more abundantly. Our freedom in Christ is not for the continuation in sinful and evil things but for the adoration of the Lord. Our liberty provides us many ways of displaying his grace, love, mercy, and acceptance of the nations. Those who are in the law continue to bring others under the restrictions of the law. Those who are in grace continue to bring others into the liberty of the law. These are opposing views and practices which have continued even in these last days. Each one of us at times must decide to walk and live in one of these conditions. Those who choose the bondage of the law will not experience the same level of relationship with Christ. In contract those who choose the liberty of the law will not experience the stagnation of relationship with Christ. Examine your condition and determine if this item of freedom is the issue. If you discover that it is pray and ask the Lord to help you break free of the social, mental, emotional, and spiritual chains that have tied you up. 

What is going on in America? Are we turning into a dictatorship nation?  Do not undermine my authority. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. American workers, many of them are being extorted and held hostage by this covid shot mandate. There being force because many workers want to take care of their families. So what about their constitutional rights, which have been violated, which is also discrimination. Reality: A person can respect the position but does not respect the person that's reality. Satan is using leaders elected leaders for his destruction of America. But Jesus defeated Satan AND WILL defeat him again. What makes it OK for a woman to say my body my rights in kill an unborn child so why is it not okay for a person to say my life my rights in refused to get of Covid shot, and don't say that is different because both issues are dealing with rights in the life of others. A man has no say, so if a woman chooses to get an abortion, but he may want to keep the child, grandparents have no voice, so if a woman wants an abortion, they would like to have grandkids. This list can go on. But my religious beliefs as an American citizen are being threatened taken away from me because I do not want to get a covid shot to lose my job. Is that American justice just asking? Yes, COVID is real. I know I had it, but I believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ. Read plasm 91.  To my understanding, you have the Department of Justice wants to try to file suit against Texas because they upheld the law by making abortion illegal.  I wonder what God's word says about abortion: I know in the book of proverbs it says speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves for the rights of all who are dissolute speak up and judge pretty defend the rights of the poor and the needy in this proverbs 31 verses 8 through 9. No, I'm not the most intelligent person in the world, but I'm smart enough to know the unborn child could not speak for themselves think about that. I also have another question is our leaders directly or indirectly helping to promote terrorism within our nation? I'm just asking this question because I genuinely don't know but looking at what's going on here and now, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering this. OK, now let's get back to the subject of abortion. The Bible never specifically addressed abortion; however, there are numerous teachings in the scripture that make it abundantly clear what God's view of abortion is. Jeremiah 15 tells us that God knows us before he forms us in the womb. Psalms 139 verse 13 through 16 speaks of God's active role in our creation then the formation in the womb verse 22 through 25 prescribed the same penalty is death for someone who causes the end of a baby in the womb yes for someone who commits murder. Now to me, this indicates that God considers a baby in the womb to be just as much of a human being as a fully grown adult such as you and me I. for a person that believes in Christ, a Christian abortion is not a matter of a woman right to choose it is a matter of life and death of a human being made in God's image Genesis 1 verse 26 and 27 Genesis 9 verse 6, now put what does the Bible say about abortion put abortion is murder it is the killing of a human being who has created an image of God. Are the American people living in a state of terror? Afraid that they may lose their job being a federal or government job if they refuse to get the covid shot or afraid to get kicked off an NFL team or they refuse to get the Covid picture, what about the rights of the American people. Something else is shocking to me. Why would anyone want to use the legacy of a deceased person to get what they want, be they a politician or just a regular Joe on Streets? Why would you want to use a dead person for your gain? It appears that particular politician is throwing the US constitution out the window for their self-interest, not America inserts interest their self-interest. Just look around America. We live in the signs of the time, whether you choose to believe it or not your choice.  I believe that there are many warnings in the Bible about the power of the government taking over or, let me say, the increasing government control. Yes, as Christians, we are to obey the laws of the land, but if the land laws go against God's laws, Bing will not follow. I want to clarify that this is not any form of rebellion, nor is this a political podcast. This is Christian freedom. The Bible states emphatically in Galatians 5:1 that believers are free in Christ: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). Before Jesus died on a cross, God's people lived under a complicated system of laws that served as a moral compass to guide their lives. The Law, while powerless to grant salvation or produce true freedom, nevertheless pointed the way to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:19–24). Through His sacrificial death, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, setting believers free from the law of sin and death. God's laws are now written in our hearts through the Spirit of God, and we are free to follow and serve Christ in ways that please and glorify Him (Romans 8:2–8). In a nutshell, this is the definition of Christian freedom. An essential aspect of Christian freedom is our responsibility not to return to living under the Law. The apostle Paul compared this to slavery: “Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1). Continuing to live under the Law after salvation is merely a legalistic form of religion. We cannot earn righteousness through the Law; instead, the Law's purpose was to define our sin and show our need for a Savior. Christian freedom involves living not under the burdensome obligations of the Law but God's grace: “For sin shall no longer be your master because you are not under the law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14). In Christ, we are free from the Law's oppressive system, we are free from the penalty of sin, and we are free from the power of sin. Christian freedom is not a license to sin. We are free in Christ but not free to live however we want, indulging the flesh: “For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love” (Galatians 5:13, NLT). Believers aren't free to sin but free to live holy lives in Christ. Christian freedom is one of the many paradoxes of the Christian faith. True freedom means willingly becoming a slave to Christ, which happens through a relationship with Him (Colossians 2:16–17). In Romans 6, Paul explains that when a believer accepts Christ, they are baptized by the Spirit into Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. At that moment, the believer ceases to be a slave to sin and becomes a servant of righteousness: “But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness” (Romans 6:17–18, ESV). Only Christians know true freedom: “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). But what does Christian liberty look like in a practical sense? What are we free to do and not do? What can we watch on TV? What can we eat and drink? What can we wear to the beach? What about smoking and drinking? Are there limits to Christian freedom? In 1 Corinthians 10, the apostle Paul gives a practical illustration of Christian freedom: “‘Everything is permissible—but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is permissible—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his good, but the good of others” (1 Corinthians 10:23–24, NIV84). In writing to the church in Corinth, Paul mentions members attending meals in pagan temples, just as they had done before receiving Christ. They felt free to continue participating because they thought these festivals were merely a normal part of the social culture, and they didn't see their actions as pagan worship. Paul laid out several warnings, reminding the Corinthians of Israel's dangerous flirtation with idolatry in the Old Testament. Then he handled the practical concern of eating meat that had been sacrificed to idols. “Everything is permissible,” the Corinthians were saying. True, Paul says; Christians have a great deal of freedom in Christ. However, not everything is beneficial or constructive. Our freedom in Christ must be balanced by a desire to build up and benefit others. When deciding how to exercise our Christian freedom, we ought to seek the good of others before our good. In Judaism, restrictions were placed on purchasing meats in the market. Jews could only buy and eat kosher meats. Paul said believers were free in Christ to buy and eat any meat (1 Corinthians 10:25–26). However, if meat sacrificed to idols came up, believers were to follow a higher law. Love is what limits Christian freedom. Later in the chapter, Paul wrote about eating meat as a guest in someone's home. Christians are free to eat whatever they are served without questions of conscience (1 Corinthians 10:27). But, if someone brings up that the meat has been offered to an idol, it is better not to eat it for the sake of the person who raised the issue of conscience (verse 28). While believers have the freedom to eat the meat, they are compelled to consider what's best for those who are observing their behavior. Romans 14:1–13 raises a key determiner in understanding the limits of Christian freedom. In the passage, Paul again brings up eating meat sacrificed to idols and observing certain holy days. Some believers felt freedom in Christ in these areas, while others did not, and their differing perspectives were causing quarrels and disunity. Paul emphasized that unity and love in the body of Christ are more important than anyone's convictions or Christian liberty: “Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister” (Romans 14:13). Essentially, Paul's message to the New Testament believers and us today is this: even if we believe we are right and have Christian freedom in an area,[sPause sec=2.6 ePause] if our actions will cause another brother or sister to stumble in his or her faith, we are to refrain out of love. Paul spoke again of the matter in 1 Corinthians 8:7–9: “Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food, they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. But food does not bring us near God; we are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do. Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.” The issue in New Testament times was eating meat offered to idols; today, other “gray areas” arise in our Christian walk. Romans 14:1 calls these “disputable matters,” areas where the Bible does not give clear-cut guidelines on whether a behavior is a sin. When faced with gray areas, we can rely on two guiding principles to regulate our Christian freedom: let love for others compel us not to cause anyone to stumble and let our desire to glorify God be our all-encompassing motive (1 Corinthians 10:31). [sPause sec=2.6 ePause]

Under the umbrella of 'living sacrifices', Paul gives God's people another command of what life should look like within the Body. Unity is key - especially in light of disputable matters. Our freedom in Christ should never come at the price of division and disunity among the Church.

On July 4, Ken talked about 5 Facts of Our Freedom in Christ from 5 different passages in the New Testament. Let's view our country and patriotism from God's perspective when it comes to acceptable worship of our Lord and Savior. Freedom that is Absolute - John 8:36 - “If the Son sets you free you will be free indeed” Freedom in Knowing God Personally - 2 Corinthians 3:17 -  “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom” Freedom from the Bondage of Sin. - Galatians 5:1 -  “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke slavery.” Freedom of Belonging (Community) - Galatians 5:13-14 - “You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself'."  Freedom to Enter God's Presence - Ephesians 3:12 - “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”

This week, Pastor Jermaine continued on with our 1 Corinthians series with Chapter 10. In this Chapter Paul uses the story of Israel as a warning to the church in Corinth. He encourages them to be self-disciplined, to flee sexual immorality and to and to do everything in their power to obtain the prize by loving God and one another. Our freedom in Christ is a great privilege, but one that comes alongside great responsibility. Paul encourages them to learn from the mistakes and example of those who went before them. As believers, we are all under three covenants: We are all in covenant with Christ. We are in covenant with our church leadership. We are in covenant with one another. How do we know if what we want to do is both lawful and beneficial? We pass it through the criteria of verse 24, in seeking the good of others. We have to make sure that the use of our freedoms do not infringe upon our neighbors freedoms. Everything that is lawful to be done is not always lawfully done, and therefore some of the ways we exercise our freedoms can cause our brothers and sisters to stumble, and in doing so our rights can become idols. We as a church need to be people who love consistently. We have to think about the good of the whole, as in our context we ourselves can become the very idols in our way.

2-7-2021 | Mike Baker Serve #1: Freed to Serve Exodus 7:16, 8:1, 9:1, 9:13, 10:3, 10:7 The refrain associated with Moses as he repeatedly appeals to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelite nation, is “let my people go.” But that is only half of the sentence. In each of these scriptures, the full request is, “let my people go that they may SERVE me in the wilderness.” God was not freeing his enslaved people so that they could bask in serving only themselves. He freed them from their bondage in Egypt, so that they could choose to be his servants in Egypt. Our freedom in Christ is not given to us so that we can turn our thoughts inward and think of what is best for us. To demand our freedoms as Christ followers is an oxymoron. Because of the freedom from sin and death that Jesus has given us, we are able to become servants to all and in so doing serve God. We have been freed to serve others.

Our freedom in Christ gives us purpose every day! Join Pastor Jeff as he shares more about this truth from the book of Galatians

Our freedom in Christ was given so that we might live for the glory of Christ.

Our freedom in Christ is not a license for self-indulgence…or for imposing our opinions and preferences on others. (Galatians 5:13-18)

Our freedom in Christ is not freedom to do whatever we want to do, but rather freedom to do what we ought to do.

So as our country celebrates Independence Day, we thought it would be good to discuss our TRUE FREEDOM...OUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST! As Christians, we say we believe we are free in Christ (scripture certainly tells us we are) but do we really live like we are free? Or do we live more like we are in bondage? It could be leading a fearful/anxious life void of faith in God’s power...it could be slipping back into our old sinful ways. Well we talk about!
