Mid-cities Church Sermon Podcast

This week we are beginning a series entitled “The Christ-Centered Home” It begins with a message about the true nature of freedom and especially our freedom in Christ. American culture has distorted the biblical concept of freedom to mean “living without any restraint or accountability.” As Americans, we often think of freedom as a life in which no one makes demands on us or limits the things we want to do. That view of freedom creates a great deal of tension in families because by definition, family members make demands on one another. Our responsibilities toward one another in marriage and family create restraints and sometimes we push back against those. As a beginning point, we need to understand the true meaning of biblical freedom and how God’s restraints actually maximize our lives rather than stealing our happiness.
