“Living Like You’ve Been Set Free” - 10am Traditional Eucharist

Jun 28, 2026    The Rev. Ben Jones

This sermon explains that through baptism, believers have already been transferred from the kingdom of sin and death into the new life of Christ, making their new identity an accomplished reality rather than something they must earn . Drawing from Romans 6, it describes sin not merely as individual bad choices, but as a power that distorts human desires, enslaves people, and damages relationships until God rescues them through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that obedience to God is not legalistic rule-keeping or a way to earn salvation, but the natural response of those whose hearts have been transformed by the Holy Spirit and restored as God’s image-bearers. Ultimately, the sermon invites believers to live in light of their baptism by continually asking how they can reflect God’s good, gracious, and loving rule into the world through their everyday lives.
