For freedom, he set me free. Not for change, not for guilt, not for Pharisee. Grace lit the flame, now I'm puffing peace. Cigars and victory justified, released. Welcome to the For Freedom Podcast. This podcast exists to bring the freedom of the gospel for everyday Christians with everyday issues. I ain't saved by dress codes, not by what I eat. I'm covered in the righteousness, washed from head to feet. No tally of tradition, no man-made code. Blood bought my freedom, now I ride that road. They clutch pearls when they see smoke rings rise. But my praise still ascends past the legalist cries. Christ plus nothing, that's the real math. So miss me with your fence laws and your extra path. He sat with sinners, I'm sitting with saints. Sipping grace from the bottle, no room for fakes. I light one for liberty, toast to the king. Every ash a sermon, death has lost its sting. For freedom, he set me free. Not for change, not for guilt, not for Pharisee. Grace lit the flame, now I'm puffing peace. Cigars and victory justified, released. For freedom, he set me free. Not for change, not for guilt, not for Pharisee. Grace lit the flame, now I'm puffing peace. cigars and victory justifies released let grace begin now here are your hosts james sayford and brett martin as he was passing by he saw a man blind for birth his disciples questioned rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind neither this man nor his parents sinned jesus answered this came about so that god's works might be displayed in him we must do the works of him who sent me while i while on this day night is coming when no one can work as long as i am in the world i am the light of you after he said these things he spit on the ground made some mud from his saliva and spread the mud on side go he told him wash in the pool of shalom which means sin so he left washed and came back to see his neighbors and those who formerly and seeing him as a beggar said isn't this the man who sat down some said he's the he's the one no others were saying he but he looks like me he kept saying i'm the one therefore they asked him then how were your eyes open and he answered the man called jesus made mud spread it on my eyes and told me go to shalom and wash so i went and washed and i received my sight where is he they asked i don't know he said yes we're going to pray father god we are thankful to be here we're thankful for this opportunity god to see this place this wonderful place father what we know that uh great miracle uh taking place jesus was here and healed a man born blind and we don't know maybe he healed others why he was here we're thankful for that we're thankful for this opportunity we're thankful for that man we know that he got his side of that but he also uh received what was most important touch from jesus and in salvation father we're thankful for this opportunity we're thankful this place we're thankful and father for all that we've seen lord and i pray that you continue to bless you who bless this place bless this people we love you praise you and thank you in jesus name amen so you may not know but where we're standing is the southern steps as he just said as we're entering into uh the temple and uh this would have most likely been the place where peter stood and preached on the day of pentecost so i'm going to read for us acts chapter 2 and just give you one quick encouraging word it said peter stood up with the 11 raised his voice and proclaimed fellow jews and all residents of jerusalem let this be known unto you today and pay attention to my words for these people are not drunk as you suppose since it is only nine in the morning on the contrary this is what was spoken through the prophet joel and it will be in the last days says god that i will pour out my spirit and on all my people then your sons and daughters will prophesy your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams i will even pour out my spirit on the servants in those days both men and women in those days will prophesy i will display the wonders of heaven above the signs of the earth and below the blood and fire with a cloud of smoke the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood and before the great glorious day of the lord comes then everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved that's verses 14 to 21 there's a passage where he preaches longer but i'm going to skip down to verses 37 through 38 this says when they heard this they were pierced to their heart and they said to peter and the rest of the apostles brothers what should we do and peter replied a simple reply repent and be baptized each and every one of you in the name of the lord jesus christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the holy spirit this is the scene where peter stood and preached to these people the bible records that as you read the next verse that 3 000 men repented and 3 000 men got saved that day they would have likely went down we passed the mikvah right over here they would have likely went down in that mikvah and gotten baptized right there and peter would have had the very first baptism service for the very first church service that was existed in the book of acts and the men that were there said what should we do with this information that we've been given and peter replied the same message that we have today repent believe on jesus and receive the holy spirit we have the same message we have the same power we get to experience on the steps that that happened here today ourselves father we thank you for this day we thank you for my heart been overwhelmed by walking the pilgrim's path up this way as we took in the sites as we took in all the different uh areas where jesus would have stopped and he would have talked and his disciples would have asked him questions lord we got to experience that we saw the wall where you would have came up and we saw where peter would have stood today and preached father my heart is encouraged my heart is overwhelmed as i recently finished preaching the book of acts where we got to see and experience the church the birth of the church but it just doesn't end there god we we have now had the opportunity as acts ends to take on the message of the gospel and to continue to proclaim it forward help us to have the boldness that peter had peter didn't shy away he could have he was he denied jesus he he made mistakes he made problems in his life and yet he put those things away to come forward and to preach this glorious message that we heard lord help us to be bold for you and to share the message of the gospel so that people would ask the questions what do we do now my heart is stirred and i've got to do something help us to have that same boldness today father in your name we pray amenrew Now I'm out of time, but now I see. When we've been there, ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first began. I found my new name, found that good grace, found that healing, and the tears fell down my face when I found my beginning that has no ending. I found that second chance, found my best friend, found my forgiveness, found my happiness. I've been singing ever since, I found my freedom in you. I found myrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrewrew
