Paid Was The Price For You

In his sermon on Star Wars Day, Gary emphasizes the profound cost of salvation, showcasing that while it is a free gift for us, it cost Jesus everything through His obedience and sacrifice. He likens our situation to being captives in need of rescue, explaining that Jesus paid the ultimate ransom, setting us free from sin and spiritual death. Gary illustrates that Jesus didn't just take the punishment for our sins, but also became our substitute, carrying the weight of our failures so that we might embrace a new identity and purpose as children of God. Ultimately, he challenges the congregation to recognize the significance of this gift and to honor it by living in the freedom it provides.
