A Theology Of Slavery | Romans 6:15-23

Slavery is a hot topic both culturally and biblically. Contrary to the current belief systems that the history of slavery is exclusive to the USA, the building of ancient and modern empires upon the backs of slavery is evident throughout the span of all humanity. Pastor John's message this week takes us through some unpopular truths regarding modern-day human slavery, both physical and spiritual. He encourages us to take an honest and sober assessment of the sins that hold us captive, and reminds us that having been freed from the bondage of sin through Jesus Christ, we are now called to be slaves to righteousness.

“What you idolize is how you interpret the world” absolutely SLAPPED me, thank you for that. I think I’ll take that and say “what you worship is how you interpret the world”, so that I can shift my view to worshiping Christ instead of anything else and the lesson still holds. Thanks man, appreciate the lesson.

I found you during covid for guns and tactics with a level head and to be without fear, but rather to have hope. Then I discovered your preaching and I'm glad I did. Thank you for all you do its truly a blessing.

It’s fun that our church and your church are preaching on Romans at the same time.
Great to hear our pastor’s take and where he focuses, then yours within a week or so.
Thanks for the great content. Hope to see you and your wife in SC for the homeschool event.

John, Christ says that Faith without works is dead! Your right partly, only your acceptance of Jesus Christ gives you salvation but, after that you need to follow the example that he provides and do the good works. James 2:14-15

How much more clear can it get? There is no commandment that says “Thou shalt not own another human being as property”. Owning a slave is not a sin. Exodus 21 tells you where to buy slaves, how long you can keep them for, how you can treat them, etc. Anybody who tries to twist the meaning of this knows it is immoral to own slaves and wants to falsely defend the Bible. For example, there is absolutely no mention of the words “indentured servitude” in the Bible, but apologist will swear that is what it means. In any case, that is STILL owning another human being as property. It doesn’t matter if they were treated nice or were let go after some years…slavery is slavery no matter how much you try to sugarcoat it.

Why did God wait 400 years to break the bond of slavery concerning the Israelites? 400 years — man! I know a thousand years is like a day to Him. —but Not to them!!

Did your family change name from lovett to lovell? Maybe after immigration? I was recently watching a documentary about how the Bush family is connected with the lovell's.

Rarely is my phone in my hand. I go days without seeing it, it goes dead because I haven't charged it in so long many times. Its easy to drop the phone.
