Unlawful

Damascus Road Community Church

Most of us have a funny relationship with freedom and control, don’t we?

We love the idea of freedom for ourselves and wouldn’t hesitate to say: “I don’t need anyone telling me how to live my life!”

But we’re also very quick to fight against what we believe is wrong. We often try to control the behavior of others, especially when we think it will affect us in some way and are ready to shout: “Not In My Backyard!”

Nowhere is this freedom/control dynamic more vividly played out than in the arena of faith and religion. We are told that Christ came for our freedom yet many of our experiences with Christianity feel completely opposite; it can sometimes feel more like behavior control than freedom.

Join us this week for Season 2 Episode 6 of the Chosen, titled Unlawful; we are going to ask what it looks like to have a freedom that truly feels like being free!
