The beginning of this new year is an opportunity for a great reset and address areas we could use a fresh reset.
Our nation's most highly valued and highly prioritized virtue is FREEDOM.
John 8:31-36 NLT
BIG IDEA:
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
>>> Spiritual Freedom is discovered in God's truth through vertical relationship with Him.
Jesus set us free from living according to the course of this world.
We can become too sure of our destiny that we live on momentum and not live from freedom.
>>> Spiritual Freedom is expressed in our horizontal relationships with others.
God's grace does not set us free for a care-FREE life, but for a care-FILLED life.
Galatians 5:13-15 MSG
>>> Practical behaviors that reflect we are free indeed:
Luke 4:18-19 NLT
Isaiah 58:6-12 NLT
Jesus says,
"If you hold to my teaching, you are truly my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (JOHN 8:31-32)
