Sermons on Redemption From Slavery:

True Freedom Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 28, 2016

What Paul describes here definitely applies to us. Jesus has taken many captives, literally, He lead captivity captive.

7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” 9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? ...read more

Six Thanks-Blessings

Contributed by Larry Turner on Nov 19, 2015

God's Word says to thank him for being a slave, being miserable, being dead, being smelly,being loving, and being sensible. Some of these you don't really think about.

I hope everyone is ready for Thanksgiving this Thursday. I will be deep-fat frying one of the 45 million turkeys that have given their life for this wonderful holiday. One thing I am thankful for is that I can get mine from the frozen food section at the grocery store. I would hate to have to hunt ...read more

Listen And Obey

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 8, 2015

We become different people when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. We celebrate and share with humanity’s children. We have been set free and we enjoy the special favour of God. God’s Word shines a light into our darkness and continues to set us free.

There is a common thread in the readings we heard from Nehemiah 8:1-10 and Luke 4:14-21 this morning, and it is freedom from slavery. In the case of the reading from Nehemiah, the story takes place after the Israelites have returned from captivity in Babylon. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus mentions ...read more

Saved – Saved From What?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 16, 2013

We ask people “Are you saved?” expecting them to understand what we are talking about. When asked, the response we get might be “Saved? Saved from what?” What does it mean to be saved? If we are saved, from what are we saved?

Saved – Saved From What? Romans 10:1-13 Often we use terms that we assume others know exactly what we are talking about. One of these words is “saved”. We ask people “Are you saved?” expecting them to understand what we are talking about. When asked, the response we ...read more

There was no emancipation proclamation from spiritual slavery.

Point #1 - There was no emancipation proclamation from spiritual slavery or from the Tem commandments. Christ did not abolish the Ten Commandments.

Healing From Leprosy And Sin

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 7, 2022

Just as leprosy could and did kill in the time of Christ, so sin kills the life of the soul in every age of man.

Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2022 What was the worst part of leprosy in the days of Christ and even millennia before and after? I believe that the skin condition and other physical ailments were horrible experiences, as well as knowing there was no human cure. But the worst part seems to be the ...read more

The Two Sons Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 29, 2014

Performance-based religion is a dead-end. We’re faced with a choice: -Slavery or freedom; -Righteousness by keeping the law, or righteousness by faith in God’s promises.

Introduction: A man asked Jesus how to get to Heaven. In typical Jewish fashion, Jesus answered the question with a question: “What do you think?” The man suggested, “By keeping the law,” and Jesus said (with a smile), “Fine, do that and you’ll make it!” ...read more

Faith Leads To Maturity Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 27, 2009

Relying on external law is the bondage of slavery. Jesus redeemed us from the law & made us heirs of God. The Christian does not need to wait to enjoy the riches of Christ. If he is a son then he is an heir.

GALATIANS 4:1-7 FAITH LEADS TO MATURITY [Romans 8:15-17] One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer away from a spiritual dependance upon God. The Galatian Christians, like most believers, wanted to grow and go ...read more
