The Purpose of your Freedom: Oppose the Flesh

What is Christian freedom for? In this message, Pastor Steve unpacks Paul’s words in Galatians 5:13a to show that freedom in Christ is not a license for self-indulgence, it’s a call to Spirit-led obedience.

Freedom is not permission to please the flesh. It is grace-empowered ability to oppose it. True freedom gives us the power to say no to sin and yes to holiness. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Steve reminds us that the flesh will always pull, but the Spirit has been given to help us stand. Through biblical insight and practical application, this sermon reminds the believer that they have not only been set free from something (the law and sin), but for something a life that glorifies God through obedience, love, and surrender.

If you’ve ever struggled with the tension between grace and godliness, this message will bring clarity, conviction, and confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit at work in you.
