Summary
As we near the end of our week on simple Christianity, we look today at the simple truth of our freedom in Christ. Our sin and bondage often feels like a convoluted web that entangles us. Satan would like nothing more than to keep us foggy and confused about the freedom and righteousness bought for us through the precious blood of Jesus. Today I’m praying that chains are broken in God’s presence. May we gain clarity and deep understanding of the freedom afforded to us as children of God. May we adopt the simple truth of our freedom and truly be set free.
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 3:17, and today's worship is Jubilee by Maverick City feat. Naomi Raine & Bryan & Katie Torwalt.

________
As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:
“Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”
At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.

| 0:44.5 | Welcome to the first of teen podcast. All right. Our verse for today comes from 2 Corinthians 317. |
| 1:02.0 | Scripture says, now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
| 1:09.0 | Freedom from sin is not something we pay for with our own blood, |
| 1:15.0 | sweat, and tears. It's not bought by any measure of human strength or will, but by the precious |
| 1:21.6 | and powerful blood of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells clearly of the pervasive and liberating effects of Jesus' death |
| 1:30.6 | for all those who come to believe in Him and claim Him as Lord. May we be children freed from |
| 1:37.1 | the bonds of slavery Christ died to set us free from. Romans 8 1 through 4 says, |
| 1:43.1 | There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ |
| 1:47.9 | Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. |
| 1:56.1 | For God has done what the law weakened by the flesh could not do. By sending his own son in the likeness of |
| 2:02.4 | sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement |
| 2:08.5 | of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walked not according to the flesh, but according to the |
| 2:14.9 | spirit. With the filling of the spirit came a new law, a new covenant by which |
| 2:22.5 | the chains of sin are broken. We're no longer condemned to live under the tyranny of sin, |
| 2:28.9 | but rather freed to live under the new law of the Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
| 2:37.0 | The simple truth of Scripture in regards to sin is that freedom is ours through Christ Jesus. |
