Episode Synopsis

🎯 Are You Confusing Christian Liberty with a License to Sin? Discover the critical difference between true biblical freedom and dangerous libertinism in this powerful exposition from Acts 6. Pastor Fortunato tackles one of the church's most misunderstood doctrines: what does grace really mean for how we live? Many believers fall into one of two ditches—legalism or libertinism. While legalists add burdens God never intended, libertines twist grace into permission to live however they want. This convicting message exposes how the libertine spirit infiltrates churches by turning God's grace into "lasciviousness" and making liberty a launching pad for fleshly campaigns. Through careful examination of Acts 6, Jude 4, Galatians 5, 2 Peter 2, Romans 6, and 2 Corinthians 3, you'll understand how true Christian freedom actually works. Real liberty serves others in love—false freedom serves self in lust. The Holy Spirit doesn't free us FROM God's standards but gives us power to fulfill them through sanctification. Learn why saying "I'm under grace, not law" can become dangerous when used to justify sin, how to identify libertine thinking in your own heart, and what biblical holiness really looks like in everyday Christian living. This sermon will challenge you to examine whether your liberty looks more like Christ or more like the world.
