Slave to Sin --- or Slave to God?

What lessons have you and I learned this year during the Days of Unleavened Bread? These days serve as a reminder of the incredible power of sin! Sin is a powerful force that can tempt us – or deceive us – or overwhelm our resistance. Sin can enslave us in spiritual bondage and slavery! In John 8:30 to 36, Jesus talked to a group of Jews who refused to see their problem with sin. Notice verse 34: “Most assuredly, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.”

John Cafourek (1945-2017) served in the ministry of Jesus Christ with his wife, Sandy, for 46 years.

John was born in South Dakota. He attended Ambassador College in Pasadena, California, from 1965 to 1969, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He received a Master’s Degree in psychological counseling from Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1978. John pastored churches in Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Washington, and Oregon.

He directed speech clubs for men, gave seminars on abuse and addictions, and traveled as an international speaker in Canada, England, New Zealand, Jamaica, Australia, and other areas. He also directed a United Church of God preteen camp for children ages 6 to 12 and served at the church’s teen camp.
