True Freedom in Christ

South Shore Community Church

In John chapter 8, we explore the profound message of personal freedom that Jesus offers. The sermon delves into the concept of abiding in Jesus' word as the pathway to true freedom—freedom from guilt, bitterness, unforgiveness, sinful habits, and depression. Jesus emphasizes that this freedom is not just for the afterlife but is available to us here and now. Through the story of the Pharisees and their resistance to Jesus' teachings, we learn about the barriers that prevent us from experiencing this freedom and how to overcome them by recognizing our spiritual bondage, admitting our own efforts are insufficient, and fully trusting in Jesus.
