Luke | How Repentance Leads to Real Freedom | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball | February 1, 2026

Freedom is something every heart longs for, but most of us look for it in places that can’t deliver. In Luke 3, John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus by calling people to repentance, not as condemnation, but as an invitation into freedom. This message reminds us that repentance is not about cleaning ourselves up, but about turning toward grace and learning to lean fully on Christ.• Repentance is not just feeling sorry, it is a changed direction that leads to freedom• Grace always comes first and invites us to turn back to God• True freedom is found when we stop leaning on ourselves and identify with ChristKey Scriptures:Luke 3:1–22Isaiah 40:3–5Romans 12:2Galatians 2:20Ask God what He may be calling you to turn from and take a step toward Him today. Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, repentance is an open door to freedom. Share this message with someone who needs to be reminded that grace is still available.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Cole Ellerbrock | February 1, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
