You are free. Free from sin, free from the power of Satan, free from guilt, shame and regret, free from the need to earn God's love, free from pretending like you have it all together, free from a joyless life, free from the fear of death. You are free because the Son has set you free.

This sermon was preached on the Commemoration of the Reformation of the Church. It is also the third message in a series called "Welcome Home" as we focus on the blessings of Christian family that gathers as the Church based on John 8:31-36. It was preached on November 3, 2019, by Pastor Aaron Bublitz at Heritage Lutheran Church in Gilbert, Arizona.
