Jesus sets captives free. Yet many Christ-followers are still captive to anger, resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness. In Hebrews 12:14-15, Scripture describes this captivity as a "bitter root" that grows up to produce "bitter fruit." This bitter fruit can manifest as addictions, broken relationships, irrational fears, unhealthy imaginations, and crippling insecurity. The truth is that Jesus loves us too much to allow us to stay captive to such bitterness. In this new series, Passport to Freedom, from Bible teacher Marian Jordan Ellis, we discover the key to Freedom from Bitterness.

Jesus is Alive | Mark 16
March 29, 2023
Two centuries ago, the most important moment in human history occurred—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This historic event was a game changer on a global, earth-shaking scale! • No longer are we enslaved to sin; we now have freedom through Jesus Christ. • No longer is death the end of the human story; we now have hope for eternal life. • No longer does darkness get the final word; Jesus, the Light of the World, trampled over the forces of darkness for us. Pastor Adrian Rogers rightly said, "The resurrection is not merely important to the historic Christian faith; without it, there would be no Christianity. It is the singular doctrine that elevates Christianity above all other world religions.” But how do we know if the resurrection is really true? In today’s episode of This Redeemed Life, Marian Jordan Ellis teaches through Mark chapter 16 and shares 7 Proofs of the Resurrection.

Jesus Was Crucified | Mark 15:16-39
March 22, 2023
We sing songs about the old rugged cross, and we admire paintings of a hill called Calvary. Many of us even adorn our homes with the number one symbol of the Christian faith – the cross of Jesus Christ. But, in reality, a Roman cross was not artistic nor beautiful; it was an instrument of torture and death that was used to kill Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Today on This Redeemed Life Podcast, Marian Jordan Ellis unpacks Mark 15 and details how Jesus suffered and died in our place and how His sacrificial death fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and made way for us to be forgiven of sin and reconciled to a holy God. The miracle of God's grace is that Jesus Christ reconciled the very ones who nailed Him to that tree! This episode is a must-listen as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season.

Jesus our Substitute | Mark 15:1-15
February 8, 2023
Have you ever truly contemplated the fact that Jesus took on the guilt, punishment and death that you deserved? The Bible describes this as the Great Exchange. In this exchange, Jesus is the righteous and sinless Savior who suffered and died in place of guilty sinners. On a personal level, we see a merciful and loving God offering Himself in our place as a gift of amazing grace. In today's episode of This Redeemed Life, Marian Jordan Ellis continues a verse-by-verse teaching through Mark 15 and looks at the moment Jesus took our place as our suffering Savior. Although He was declared innocent by the Roman leader Pontius Pilate, He was sentenced to die as the Lamb of God for you and me. This Redeemed Life is a listener supported podcast.
