Weren't there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt? [12] Didn't we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said, 'Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It's better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!'" God didn't ________________ you so you could go ________________ to bondage! 00:34:07 - [Galatians 5:1] So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. Christ's work has already ________________ our chains of bondage. True ________________ comes from Christ alone. 00:40:07 - [Romans 6:16-18] Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. [17] Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. [18] Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. True freedom is found in surrendering to God's __________ and walking in ________________. 00:42:52 - [2 Corinthians 3:17] For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

This is the last sermon from Thomaston Lanes. Editors Note: This is a recovered sermon from a CD recording. Due to technical issues with the microphone, I had to cut stuff. I did my best to keep the essense of Judah's message. So if you get the "Did I just miss something?" feeling, I'm sorry. Welcome to ThriveChurch! We are so glad you are joining us.
