Serving in the Power of the Spirit

July 2, 2017

We no longer have debtors' prisons, but debt can itself become a prison of sorts. Pastor Gregory Seltz tells how Christ paid the debt of sin that held us captive. Hear how His gift frees us to live and serve others. We'll also discuss religious liberty and ponder the question, "How would Jesus have voted?"
