Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

God in His grace set us free from sin and the bondage to sin and has adopted us to be His sons and daughters. There are privileges and rights that are ours as children of God, and only when we fully comprehend this will be able to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives.
