How to Ruin Your Faith: Abuse Freedom (Chris Zauner)

Pastor Chris Zauner continues week 5 of our series, How to Ruin Your Faith, with a powerful sermon titled Abuse Freedom. Teaching from Galatians 5, Pastor Chris challenges us to understand that the freedom Jesus gives is not permission to live for the flesh, but an invitation to walk by the Spirit.In this message, we are reminded that Christ has set us free from condemnation, shame, religious striving, and the penalty of sin, but that freedom must not be abused. Paul warns the Galatian church not to drift back into slavery through legalism or rebellion, and Pastor Chris shows how both can quietly ruin our faith when we stop depending on Jesus.Through honest reflection, biblical teaching, and a call to surrender, this sermon confronts the works of the flesh and points us toward the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but in crucifying the flesh and keeping in step with the Holy Spirit.If you have ever struggled with compromise, spiritual drift, shame, legalism, or the tension between flesh and Spirit, this message will encourage you to return to Jesus and live in the freedom He died to give.Scripture: Galatians 5Series: How to Ruin Your FaithMessage: Abuse FreedomSpeaker: Pastor Chris ZaunerThank you for watching this sermon from Grace City Church.
