Our Reality is Freedom | Manhattan

Sin doesn’t just want a piece of you it wants all of you.

In Matthew 5:29–30, Jesus uses intense language to show how seriously we should treat sin. He's not asking us to self-mutilate, but to cut off anything that keeps us bound. It's a call to action, not passivity to flee from what entices us, before it devours us.

Pastor Amy Perez reminds us that inaction is just as dangerous as wrong action. Like David with Bathsheba, it often starts with small compromises. But God's grace isn't just to forgive it’s to train us. Discipline isn’t legalism; it’s the path to freedom.

What we surrender may feel costly, but what we gain in Christ is worth far more.
