Freedom by Pastor Joshua Limpert
from Springs of Hope Church With Pastor Mike Jenkins of Crawfordville, Florida · host Mike Jenkins
The Paradox of Peace: Finding Freedom in the Shackles Join Pastor Joshua Limpert as he dives deep into the concept of freedom, starting with the sacrifice of military service and culminating in the spiritual freedom offered by Jesus Christ. Using the dramatic account of Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail from Acts chapter 16, Pastor Limpert reveals that true liberty is not dependent on circumstances, but on a deep surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. Their midnight worship, born from faith, brought an earthquake that not only opened the doors but also broke their shackles. In this message, you will learn: -- True freedom comes with a cost, a price that was paid by Paul and Silas, and ultimately by Jesus. -- The peace of God surpasses all understanding and is not bound by your current circumstances—it doesn't have to make sense. -- A lack of peace means you are likely dragging burdens from your past, which haunt and prevent true service to God. -- True salvation is found in the simple but profound command: "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." -- The promise of salvation extends to your entire household when you fully surrender to Christ. -- The ways of the world are chains and shackles, and sin gives the enemy legal access to your life. -- If you abide in Christ's word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Scriptures for Further Study -- Acts 16:19-34 -- John 8:31-33 -- Philippians 4:4-7
