Episode Synopsis

Welcome to this week's sermon from Johnston Chapel United. Methodist Church in Summit, Mississippi!In this sermon, we explore Luke 13:10-17, where Jesus heals a woman crippled for 18 years by an evil spirit despite objections from a synagogue leader fixated on Sabbath rules. Through this story and the transformation of John Newton, author of 'Amazing Grace,' we learn that God's grace transcends legalism and human-imposed barriers. This powerful message reminds us that true freedom in Christ isn't earned by rule-keeping but given by God's unfathomable mercy. Don't let self-condemnation or religious rituals keep you from experiencing and sharing God's liberating grace.Find this week's readings and more here
