READ: Galatians 5:1
LISTEN: Galatians 5

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Questions about living out the Christian faith have always been part of believers’ lives. From the church’s beginning, believers have wrestled with questions about God and how the truths of Scripture affect everyday life. Much of the New Testament consists of letters written to early churches to answer practical questions about faith and Jesus. In today’s passage, Paul, who authored much of the New Testament, responds to the Galatians’ spiritual confusion with a powerful reminder that Christ set them free from sin’s burden.

We still wrestle with many of the same questions today, including how to break free from sin. Throughout the “You Asked For It” sermon series, we will look into God’s Word for answers to our biggest questions about faith. The Bible guides us toward the full life God created for us and provides practical wisdom for our most challenging faith questions. This week, we’ll look at three components to the question, “How do I break free from habitual sin?” We’ll discover that remaining in Jesus, bringing our sin into the light and walking with the wise brings true freedom. As Paul reminds the Galatians, true freedom comes through Christ. We can break free from sin through the power of Jesus at work in us.

TODAY: Take a moment to reflect on areas where you feel burdened or trapped. Christ died to set you free from these very things. Write down one question about faith that you’re wrestling with, and bring it to God in prayer. Commit to joining us for the four-week, “You Asked For It” series. Consider inviting someone who might be asking similar questions to join you. Find all service times and locations HERE.
