Description
We humans have an incredible longing to return to Egypt. That is to say, to return to the land of our captivity, even after we have been set free. As harmful as it may have been, it was home...for a long time. And learning to manage freedom is harder than it looks. It was true for historical Israel, and it is true for us. Through Christ, we have been set free from our bondage to sin. And yet we have a strong propensity to return. In this episode Paul explains what such returns look like and how to stop them. The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is: Romans 6:12-23 (NRSV) Want more Jesus at 2AM?? Learn how to become a patron! Want to connect? You can send e-mail here.
