This Is Us! (Week One)Sample

Day Four 

Welcome to our Daily Devotional for our new series This Is Us - During this series we are going to journey through our Freedom Church DNA.  Some of you may know that DNA is like the secret code inside you - the thing that makes you, well, you!  You may also know that God created us in His image and wants us to live our best life.

This week we are looking at our Freedom DNA - First and Best and Live Full Die Empty.

Let's look at Live Full Die Empty and how Boy King Josiah, even though he was young,  lived his life fully, loving God and taking every opportunity God gave him. 

Live full, die empty

We are adventurers, who take risks and grab life by the horns. Our joy stands in opposition to lifeless religion. Dancing and laughter mark our lives, and we are determined to release all our potential before we die.

READ:

‘Boy King Josiah’ in the Beginners Bible (pages 235 - 239) or in 2 Kings 22. 

King Josiah paid some of the people to repair the temple and as they worked on the repairs they found something very exciting! 

The people found a scroll hidden in one of the walls…...Can you imagine how excited King Josiah was?  

Getting the Temple repaired was all part of God’s plan for King Josiah, just part of Josiah's adventure! 

ASK: 

An adventure is an unusual and exciting experience - can you think of something unusual and exciting you have been able to do or would like to do?  

Why not draw a picture of this!

REMEMBER:

So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female (Genesis 1:27)

SAY:

God created me, 

Magnificent you can see. 

Every cell and part, 

Were designed in His heart. 

From the beginning of creation,

Every clan, tribe and nation. 

Made in His image, 

With purpose, love and to encourage. 

Whatever come what may, 

This is my DNA!
