Sermons on Living In Freedom:

Freedom Without Escape

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001

Real freedom does not come from escaping your circumstances, or from being able to do whatever you want; real freedom is the power to live in obedience to God.

Do you feel free? Or do you sometimes feel trapped? No way out, all the exits boarded up? Ever feel that all your obligations and responsibilities have tied you down, that all you’re doing is marching to someone else’s music, responding to someone else’s demands, all the time doing what you have to ...read more

Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more
