You Can Be Free... and Still Be a Slave | John 8:31–36
Jul 5, 2026 • Michael Sweet
What does it really mean to be free?
Every Fourth of July, we celebrate freedom—but have you ever stopped to ask what freedom actually is? Is it simply the ability to do whatever we want, or does the Bible offer a deeper definition?
In this message, we'll trace the story of freedom throughout Scripture—from Israel's deliverance from Egypt, to God's law at Mount Sinai, to Jesus' surprising words in John 8. Along the way, we'll discover that physical freedom wasn't enough, good laws weren't enough, and why the freedom Christ offers is the only freedom that truly changes everything.
Jesus didn't come merely to change our circumstances—He came to change our hearts.
