Freedom from Bondage

Bondage in the Heart

Freedom from:
-Shackles of the fear of man
-Hooks of lust
-Maze of anger
-Nets of pride
-Traps of misplaced affections
-Cages of harbored bitterness

Bondage in the Body

-Miraculous healing of the sick in our midst
-Those who are suffering to persevere in faith
-Elderly to be sustained as they “wait with eager longing” for “the redemption of their bodies” (Rom. 8:19, 23)
-Those who cry, “How Long, O Lord?” (Ps. 13:1) to sing, “I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation” (v. 5)

Bondage in the Mind

-Depressed to find hope in the Gospel and joy in the Cross
-Minds that are spinning with the concerns of the world to rest in the peace of God
-Anxious to know the pleasure of seeking “first His kingdom” and having “all these things” added to them (Luke 12:31)
-Our church to replace worry with meditating on the glory of Christ and thinking “on these things” (Phil. 4:8)
