Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.

🔑 Key Takeaways

1. God’s laws are an expression of His love.
   • He gives His people structure and boundaries to protect them and help them live differently from the world.
   • The Law reveals both God’s holiness and our need for His grace.
2. God’s heart has always been for freedom.
   • Israel’s laws on servanthood were meant to protect dignity and prevent abuse—not to promote slavery.
   • God reminds His people that He is the one who brought them out of bondage.
3. True servanthood is born from love, not obligation.
   • The Hebrew servant who chose to stay with his master (Exodus 21:5–6) mirrors Jesus, who willingly became a servant for our sake.
   • Freedom in Christ leads us to serve God out of love, not duty.
4. God’s law upholds justice and compassion.
   • The instructions protected the poor, women, and vulnerable from exploitation.
   • Holiness is never about control—it’s about care, fairness, and dignity.
5. The Law points us to Jesus.
   • The Law couldn’t save anyone—it showed humanity’s need for a Savior.
   • Only Jesus can set us free from the bondage of sin. (Romans 8:3; Ephesians 2:8–9)
6. Freedom is both a gift and a calling.
   • We have been set free from sin to become servants of Christ. (Romans 6:22)
   • As followers of Jesus, we’re called to help others find that same freedom—spiritually and physically.
7. Holiness and freedom go hand in hand.
   • Living set apart from the world leads to genuine freedom in God.
   • At Kingdom Culture, we operate in forgiveness and freedom reflecting God’s heart to a broken world.

Main Idea: God’s laws were given not to enslave His people but to set them apart, protect them, and point them to the ultimate freedom found in Jesus Christ.
