The Purpose of God's Law, Part 1

In this sermon Mr. Smith begins a two part sermon on the purpose of God's law. We live in a world where people are free to make many choices. The problem is that people make choices in areas where choice is not an option because God has given laws relating to many areas of our lives. Many people try to get around this by saying most of God's laws do not apply to Christians, but is that really true?
