Stepping into Freedom: Changing our Hearts and Lives - May 31, 2026
This Sunday we wrapped up our sermon series, Stepping into Freedom, as we thought together about how we live in response to the good news of Christ’s love and grace. We talked about the call to repentance that is issued both by John the Baptist before Jesus’ earthly ministry begins and by Peter after it ends. The call to repentance is the call to to change our hearts and lives. We reviewed the different ways our culture can cause us to get stuck in tombs we don’t even realize we are living in, alienated from our true selves, from one another, and from God. We named that we are made for more, created to to live this one wild and precious life we have been given.
