Pastor Jeff's message challenges us to embrace the true freedom Christ offers, based on Romans 8: there is no condemnation for those in Christ. Believers are freed from condemnation, sin's power the law's burden, spiritual ignorance, and death's sting. This freedom is not just about liberation from, but also to: worship, pray confidently, grow, step out in faith, and serve with love. Paralleling the Israelites' exodus, we're saved not just from something but for something greater. It urges us to reflect: Are we living fully in this freedom or held back by old fears? Step into a deeper, empowered life with Christ. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
