The Spirit of Freedom: Part 2 (2 Cor 3:1-18)

Join Pastor Stuart as we conclude our series, Freedom!

In our fourth lesson, we return to the Apostle Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 3:1-18 for Part 2 of . . . "The Spirit of Freedom". In this lesson, we see:

• The Spirit gives us freedom to know and experience the glory of God.
• To grasp the significance of this Spirit-given freedom, we need to understand the account of the veiled glory on the face of Moses. 
• The veil is a symbol of judgment against hard-heartedness.
• The Spirit removes this veil and frees us to gaze on God’s glory.
• When we gaze on God’s glory, we can’t help but be changed.
• We see God’s glory most clearly in the face of Christ.
• Therefore, for those who don’t yet believe, ask the Spirit to remove the veil so you can know and experience the glory of Christ.
• And, for those who do believe, ask the Spirit to show you more of the glory of Christ.
• So, by the work of the Spirit, let’s gaze upon Jesus to know and experience his glory.

The Spirit of Freedom: Part 1 (2 Cor 3:1-18)

Join Pastor Stuart as we continue in our new series, Freedom!

In our second lesson, we turn to the Apostle Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 3:1-18 as we learn about . . . "The Spirit of Freedom". In this lesson, we see:

• Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
• The Spirit gives freedom from the law as law.
• The “law as law” can be summarized as “Meet the demand or else face the penalty.”
• Instead of relating to the law as law, the Spirit gives us freedom to relate to the law as a coach guiding and training us.
• Since the Spirit resides in those who believe, we have this freedom.
• Therefore, for those who believe, by the work of the Spirit, we ought to work to see God’s law as a coach training us in what it means to be more like Jesus.
• And, for those who do not yet believe, by the work of the Spirit, you can turn to Christ who will free you from the law as law.
• So, let’s find true freedom in Christ by the work of the Spirit.
