PREACH IT | TCAL Young Adults | Pastor Sly Stemley | 7/6/25

How did God speak to you today?Four young adults recently delivered powerful messages about living in the freedom Christ offers. They emphasized that our focus determines our direction - just as a mountain biker crashes when looking at trees instead of the path, we stumble when distracted by past failures or future worries instead of God's present guidance. Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God's word illuminates our immediate path, calling us to be present with Him.They also highlighted the spiritual law of sowing and reaping from Galatians 6:7-9. Many of us work hard wanting better lives but plant the wrong seeds, believing that satisfying our feelings will satisfy our souls. However, sowing to the Spirit brings eternal life while sowing to the flesh leads to corruption. Additionally, they addressed anxiety, noting that nearly half of churchgoers struggle with it. Jesus invites us in Matthew 11:28-30 to exchange our heavy burdens for His light ones through honest prayer, leaning on Scripture, and focusing on today's challenges rather than tomorrow's worries. Finally, they emphasized that our freedom in Christ isn't permission to sin but a privilege to serve others in love, as Galatians 5:13 teaches. God has called us to walk in a kingdom identity of freedom, allowing His Word to guide us toward abundant life.Support the show
