Step 9 on the journey to freedom is to make amends to anyone we have hurt or wronged. In Matthew 5, Jesus says there is an urgency to this- and that he longs for us to practice reconciliation more than practicing our worship in the temple in Jerusalem (Matthew 5). Our addictions, our habits and our sins are the tip of the iceberg. Some of what migh…

Step 8 on the journey to freedom is to make a list of all persons we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all. Our addictions, our habits and our sins are the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath the symptom is the source of our problems. Some of what might be the source of our problems are the broken relationships we have. We ca…

Step 5 on the journey to freedom is to admit to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. To confess our sin is to walk in the light. Shame thrives in the darkness and we hope to bring our sins out of the dark and into the healing light of the love of God- as we confess our sins to one another.…

Step 4 on the journey to freedom is to have an encounter with the truth- to make a 'searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves'.The alcohol, the pornography, the lying, the overeating, the compulsive spending, the gambling and the phone addiction- these are the tip of the iceberg. The reason we go to these things to self-medicate is becaus…

Step 3 on the journey to freedom is to surrender- to come to a place in life where we echo the words of the tax collector in the temple: 'God, have mercy on me a sinner'. We are likely to trust our own wisdom and path in a trial or amidst temptation- but freedom will come when we surrender our will to the God who has the power to set us free.…

In this sermon we focus on the issue of slavery. Colossians 3-4 shows that while Paul did not call for the immediate abolition of slavery, his vision of equality in Christ and his instructions to masters and slaves planted seeds that ultimately fuelled the abolition movement led by Christians throughout history. Today- this passage challenges us to…
