Sunday's Message: True Freedom: Breaking Free in Mind, Body, and Soul

Embrace true freedom—live free in every area of your life!

As Americans, we celebrate freedom on July 4th, embracing the liberties our country provides. Yet, many of us remain trapped—not by physical chains, but by the bondage of our mind, soul, and body.

On the other hand, there are those who may be physically bound yet live in complete freedom. Their secret? They refuse to be held captive by past mistakes, bad habits, or limiting beliefs. They walk in the true freedom that comes from within, and that is what we must strive for.

One way to break free is to stop living like a dog that buries bones only to dig them up again. Many of us leave behind bad habits, toxic relationships, or sinful behaviors, only to return to them later. This cycle keeps us in bondage, even in a land of liberty.

Consider another example: Imagine being a soccer player in the World Cup, now playing for a new team. Would you continue taking instructions from your former coach, or would you follow the guidance of your current team? Life works the same way—freedom comes when you embrace a new mindset and refuse to revert to old ways.

True freedom is found in pressing forward, breaking every chain that holds your mind, body, and soul captive. Live fully in the freedom you have been given, both as a citizen of this world and as a follower of truth.

Romans 6:17-18

"But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness."

Embrace true freedom—live free in every area of your life!
