Beloved, today we come to a topic that troubles many hearts. We live in an age repulsed by slavery—seen rightly now as abhorrent—but the Bible, holy and inspired, records its presence. Does that mean God condoned it? Did He sanction man owning man? Understanding how the Bible treats slavery is essential—not only for historical clarity, but also for Gospel purity. When skeptics charge that Scripture supports vile institutions, we must answer wisely, Biblically, lovingly. The sermon addresses the complex question of whether the Bible justifies slavery, arguing that it does not condone the practice despite its presence in the Old Testament. It clarifies that biblical servitude differed significantly from the chattel slavery prevalent in America, emphasizing that God works with people where they are, progressively revealing moral truths and ultimately offering freedom from sin. The speaker highlights the role of Christian faith in the abolition of slavery and underscores the central message that all individuals are enslaved to sin until they embrace Jesus Christ as their master, finding true liberation through faith and willingly submitting to His guidance.
