Two Sermons: "A Story of Religion" and "Freedom for the Prisoners"

It's been a busy summer, so we're going to play catch-up a bit at a time. Just by way of record-keeping, Carey preached on June 24, so I won't post the recording here. The second sermon below was preached in response to World Hope's "Freedom Sunday" initiative, which was focused on raising awareness of human trafficking. Fair warning: it's not a lighthearted sermon.
