About this episode

Pastor Chris Millar discusses the importance of maintaining freedom in Christ and avoiding spiritual captivity as outlined in Galatians 5.

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar walked us through Galatians 5 to look at the powerful reality that while Jesus has completely set us free, it is shockingly easy to drift back into spiritual captivity. We often slide into one of two extremes: the exhausting treadmill of self-justification—where we try to earn what Christ has already achieved—or a boundaryless life that misuses freedom as an excuse for sin. To protect this incredible gift, we must daily preach the gospel to ourselves, exercise biblical discernment, and allow our faith to genuinely transform how we love others
