Free To Follow

December 26, 2021 • Galatians 5:13–26

Many of us think freedom means we can do whatever we want. But true freedom is not choosing to do whatever we want...but choosing what is right and good. It is easy to get stuck here. This January we are choosing to be intentional about our spiritual disciplines so we can grow in relationship with Jesus. God helps us be deliberate so we can...BE FREE!

TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself.
1. What is my definition of “freedom?” How is this different or similar to a Biblical definition?
2. On a scale of one to ten, how “free” am I? Do I know the true purpose of freedom?
3. What are some ways I can turn down the noise and turn up the Spirit’s voice in my life?
4. How do I measure spiritual growth in my life? Where has my life been transformed?
5. PRAYER: “Father, help me to be as committed to my freedom as you are have been.”
