About this episode

Pastor Gary discusses the concept of living a surrendered life to Jesus, drawing parallels between historical bondservants and modern Christian faith.

Slavery has unfortunately been common in many civilizations, including the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. But Paul gave instructions to both slaves and masters, elevating “bondservants” to equal status within the body of Christ. Then he used the same term “bondservant” to describe himself in his relationship with Jesus. The Bible encourages all of us to understand what it means to live a surrendered life to Jesus, our Master. Join Pastor Gary as he shares the historical and practical application of what it means to be a “bondservant of Jesus Christ.”
