Walking In Freedom
Summary
This sermon centers on the necessity of daily, honest engagement with sin as a vital component of the Christian walk, drawing from the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9–14 to contrast self-righteousness with humble repentance. It emphasizes that true righteousness comes not from human effort or moral comparison, but from the imputed righteousness of Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts believers of sin and leads them to repentance. The message underscores that sin disrupts fellowship with God and others, and while believers are not under the law, they are called to walk in the Spirit, resisting sin's dominion through continual confession, dependence on grace, and the renewal of the mind. Using personal illustrations—such as habitual patterns in daily life—the sermon illustrates how sin can become entrenched in routine, requiring deliberate, Spirit-led discipline to break free, ultimately affirming that God's grace is greater than any sin and that freedom in Christ is both a present reality and a daily pursuit.
