Every one of us was born into a kind of arranged marriage — bound by covenant to God’s law. The law was good and righteous, but our sinful hearts turned that holy relationship into one of frustration, guilt, and death. In this sermon by pastor Taylor, we’ll hear the apostle Paul explain why our first “marriage” to the law could never bring life, and how through Christ’s death and resurrection we have been freed to belong to a far better Husband. Now, joined to Christ by faith, believers are released from condemnation and empowered by the Spirit to bear the fruit of love and obedience that the law always described but could never produce. Come discover how dying to the law and living to Christ transforms duty into delight — freeing us to serve in the newness of the Spirit. Time: Evening Minister: Rev.
