Understanding Christianity

Pastor Sean preaches from Luke 15. We are hard-wired from birth to want to try to be our own “savior.” We think that we can find approval with God or we can have a successful life or we can become very spiritual by the things that we do. We want to control our lives and be in charge our destinies. This self-salvation or control of our future can come in two ways live: Number One: Moral improvement by being religious Number Two: Self-expression by being non-religious. There is a third way to live. There is a third way to orient your life and that is the way of Jesus and the gospel. How can you be free from the bondage of either moral improvement (religious) or self-discovery (non-religious) where you live for pleasure and yourself? The answer comes in who Jesus is and what He has done on the cross and His resurrection and how you can have hope because of the empty tomb.
