This Is Us! (Week One)Sample

Day Five 

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

The people repairing the temple found a mysterious scroll….they took it to King Josiah. 

When King Josiah read the scroll he was so excited that he called all of his people together to read what was written on it! 

King Josiah’s joy was to share what was written on the scroll! 

ASK:

Have you ever been so excited about something that you want to tell everyone?  

We all have something exciting to tell the world - Jesus is alive and His spirit lives in us!  

Who are you going to share this joy with today? 

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!
