Freedom in a New Master (Romans 6:15-23)

About this episode

Associate Pastor Stephen Bean discusses the concept of freedom in relation to the masters we serve, based on Romans 6:15-23.

You finally land the job you've been chasing. You finally pay off the debt. You finally move out of your parents' house. And somewhere in the middle of celebrating, it hits you. The new job came with a new boss. The new place came with a stack of bills. The freedom you wanted came wearing a different uniform. So what if real freedom was never about getting rid of every master in your life? What if the question we're actually asking is which master is worth giving yourself to? In this message from Romans 6:15-23, Associate Pastor Stephen Bean walks through Paul's most uncomfortable question yet. We're all slaves to something. The wages of one master are death. The gift of the other is life. And the difference between the two might be sitting closer to the surface of your week than you think.
