Link found here: http://sermons.redeemer.com/store/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=29&CFID=135363&CFTOKEN=39911994
Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:4-16
There are my notes for the sermon:
- “People who think they have absolute truth tend to undermine freedom.”
- The objection: absolute truth is the enemy of freedom
- “Truth is a lot more important than you think, freedom is lot more complex than you think, and Jesus is a lot more liberating than you think.”
- Truth – Important
- Freedom – Complex
- Jesus – Liberating
- “Freedom comes from the truth.” – Galatians / Paul
- “To see through everything is the same as not seeing.” – C.S. Lewis
- Freedom – Love, Love – dependance on the other
- An absolute Person, not principle
- God surrendered his freedom so we can trust him
- walking in line with the truth of the gospel
- “The love of Christ constrains us.”
- “Our pleasure and our duty though opposite before, since we have seen his beauty, are joined apart no more. To see the law by Christ fulfilled and hear his pardoning voice, transforms a slave into a child, and duty into choice.” John Newton
