New Year, New You | Freedom, Boundaries, and Transformation – Brett Smith

🕊️ Freedom doesn’t come without cost—but it always leads to life.

In this powerful New Year / New You message, Brett Smith challenges us to rethink freedom, boundaries, and transformation through the lens of the Kingdom of God. This sermon confronts religious mindsets, exposes counterfeit freedom, and invites us into a Spirit-led life marked by true liberty, fruitfulness, and transformation.

Freedom is not the absence of boundaries—it is the result of the right boundaries. Where there are no boundaries, chaos and confusion follow. But Kingdom boundaries don’t produce bondage; they create space for love, growth, and life.

This message calls believers to shift perspective—from an earthly mindset shaped by fear, lack, and self-effort, to a heavenly mindset shaped by the Spirit, identity, and new creation life in Christ.
