The Gospel Frees Us From Confusion
“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 1st of 10 sermons in the Emancipation Proclamation Series at Remnant Church in Richmond, Virginia.

1 Peter 2:1-3 Long for the Word
This exposition of 1 Peter 2:1-3 challenges believers to long for God's Word, remembering their core identity as a follower of Jesus Christ and approaching their time in the Word as we would our meals. Rather than eating one large meal for the day, we eat several small meals throughout the day—might that not be a better strategy for taking in the Word?
