Independence Day – Freedom

Galatians 5:1 says, “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

This scripture makes one ask the question, “Is bondage something we put on ourselves or something that is put on us”? This week we look at what freedom is and isn’t and how we can continue to walk in the freedom Christ provides.

Scripture: Galatians 5:1, Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:1-6

Discussion Topics:

1. Read Galatians 1:5 and discuss what this scripture is saying and what you learned about it after Sunday’s sermon.
2. We see that Adam and Eve put on the bondage of sin and death when they decided to eat of the fruit. What are some practical examples of how we put ourselves in bondage even today with the choices that we make?
3. Pastor David shared a personal story of how he was fantasizing about an action in a romantic way and in doing to he was rejecting the reality of the situation and the truth behind hit. What areas of your life, mostly likely a place where you struggle and/or sin, do you not face the reality of the issue and therefore live in a false and fantasized belief?
