Fear of freedom makes us slaves and prisoners--even though we don't have to be. Christ has set us free, and we must not take that lightly. We must not only refuse to allow ourselves to be entrapped by anything, but we must use the freedom, the power, the love, and the sound mind He has given us to accomplish His goals for His glory.
Series: Wise Choices: Whom Shall I Fear
Speaker: John Pryor
Notes:
Fear of freedom makes us slaves and prisoners. Our fearful choices can keep us trapped and locked out of God's ultimate will for us—but we are a free people, designed for freedom and set free by Jesus Christ himself. We must choose to live out our freedom in Christ.
John 1:12-13 & 15:9-17, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Ephesians 1,
Colossians 2:10, Galatians 4:1-7
Fear of wasting Christ's sacrifice sets us free. In Christ, we are new creations. He died and rose to set us free to live! His sacrifice has empowered us to be God's friends and His children, and He has made us ambassadors to world. We dare not treat all He did lightly or ignore His commands!
2 Corinthians 5:17, John 10:9-10, Romans 5:1-11,1 Corinthians 1, Ephesians 2, Colossians 1:11-14, James 4:4-10, Matthew 5:13-14 & 28:18-20
Live with power, love, and a sound mind. We are connected to the most powerful force in the universe. Nothing can separate us from His love but our own fearful choices—and that problem can be fixed! When we team up with God and each other, we are capable of changing things in tangible ways.
2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 3:17 & 5:17-21, Psalm 118:45, Titus 2, Galatians 5:13-26, Philippians 4:13
