Finding Freedom, Developing Self-Control, and Overcoming Financial Debt
In part two of the Choose Freedom series, Pastor Ken DeChant addresses a struggle that heavy-weights millions of individuals and families: the crippling stress of financial debt. Recognizing that unexpected life expenses inevitably arise, Pastor Ken explores how debt functions like a cruel master—costing us our peace, our options, and straining our closest relationships. To break free from financial paralysis, this sermon outlines three practical prayers every believer should pray:
God, Give Me Self-Control: Hitting pause on impulsive spending and developing the discipline to live within our means.
God, Give Me Understanding: Having the humility to face reality, track expenses, and seek wise counsel or resources.
God, Give Me Perseverance: Sticking with the plan through slow progress and refusing to quit when results take time.
Ultimately, Pastor Ken points us to the greatest debt we could never pay—the debt of our sin—and celebrates how Jesus canceled that debt on the cross so we can walk in true spiritual and practical freedom.
