Paul's instructions to bondservants or slaves can be troubling for us in our day. But, when we read this instructions in light of the current of Paul's day, we see important considerations for our day. The bottom line is that if we are trusting Christ, we are to live seeking to serving Christ in whatever context He puts us in. The issue isn't so much our circumstances as it is our heart attitude before Christ.

This sermon examines Matthew 15 to expose the error of religious legalism by revealing that sin originates internally rather than externally. The preacher argues that human nature is fundamentally depraved, citing Genesis and Psalms to demonstrate that the heart is inherently corrupt and the true source of all evil thoughts and actions. By contrasting superficial ritual cleansing with deep spiritual reality, the text emphasizes that outward conformity cannot address the root problem of sin. Consequently, self-improvement or adherence to man-made rules is futile for achieving righteousness before God. The message concludes by urging listeners to abandon reliance on their own efforts and instead flee to Christ for sovereign grace and a transformed heart.
