The Gospel Frees Us From Guilt
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Once you understand the value of Jesus’ sacrifice, your notion of freedom is forever changed. You’ll discover that the most freeing thing in the world is to give yourself over entirely to the one you love, and this is exactly what happens in the gospel. The good news about Jesus is that he grants us freedom from our toughest struggles, our deepest scars, our strongest doubts, and our biggest fears. When you find Jesus, you find true freedom. ___________________________ The 3rd of 10 sermons in the Emancipation Proclamation Series at Remnant Church in Richmond, Virginia.

The Church of Thyratira: Revelation 2:18-28
In America, most of us have not been physically threatened for our faith. However, like the church at Thyratira, I would argue that most of our greatest temptations to compromise stem from either economic or social pressures. The church today is radically tempted to compromise by valuing the same things that the culture around us values. We serve a God who calls us to consider everything rubbish in order that we might gain Christ and be found in him. We cannot cling to the values of this world and still hold fast to the righteousness of our savior. Jesus offers us himself. Jesus calls us live lives of repentance, constantly letting go of our sin and clinging to his blood, shed on the cross for our sin, to forgive us and give us his perfect righteousness.

Standing Out - ENGAGE #4
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.
