NEW FREEDOM - ALL THINGS NEW - CHRIS HODGES

Summary

The sermon encourages embracing "new beginnings" by focusing on a "new freedom" in Christ, not just during the start of the year but always. It references Isaiah 43:18-19's promise of God making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, and John 8:31-32 where Jesus states that holding to His teaching leads to knowing truth and being set free. The takeaway is to actively pursue and maintain true freedom from sin and past struggles by adhering to God's word for a higher quality of life on earth.
