Sermon: Freedom (He's Enough series)

There are no shortages of activities, assets, and privileges that this world will try to tell you will make you feel happy, wanted, and loved.  The world loves throwing "things" at us and trying to convince us that those "things" will satisfy our souls.  All you need is the right social group; all you need is the right financial purpose; all you need is the right political cause.  Missing in all of this is a realization that the holes in our hearts are God-shaped and can only be filled by one thing... God.  It can all be summed up in one phrase: He's enough.  He's enough for our wants, He's enough for our needs.  He's enough for our humbling, He's enough for our salvation.  He's enough for anything and everything our hearts could desire.  If we have Him, how could we want for anything else? This is the final message in our series titled "He's Enough" which is on the subject of freedom.  Freedom is a major topic to God.  It's actually the seminal events of God's intervention on earth in both Old and New Testaments.  In the Old Testament, God delivers his chosen people from bondage from Egypt while in the New Testament God delivers all people from the bondage of sin.  When we compare the freedom we have in Christ to the freedom offered by the world, or even by religious institutions, we can see that the only true freedom we have in life is freedom from the flawed elements of this world.
