Unschooled and Ordinary

"Free" | September Message Series on the Book of GalatiansEvery one of us is searching for freedom in some way - freedom from burdens, shame, guilt, and expectations of others. Lots of things in our lives make promises to give freedom, but the problem is that they can’t deliver on those promises. Jesus came to give us true freedom, and He always delivers on all of His promises. Through this September series in the Book of Galatians, we’re learning how to avoid the traps of the world and the enemy that leads to bondage and seeking to understand what true freedom looks like through Jesus alone.Season 2 Episode 5 of Unschooled and Ordinary introduces the listeners to the Book of Galatians, Paul's first recorded letter in the Bible.Episode Resources:Episode 5 Study GuideBible Reading Plan & Devos "Free" Message SeriesFind a House ChurchVenture Church Original PodcastsVenture Church Website
