Message Notes

            On Independence Day we think about our nation’s freedoms.  We have so many.  But there are limits: speech – “fire,” press – libel, peaceable assembly – restrictions, bear arms – hos-pitals, schools, airports.

We’re thankful for all of our freedoms; as citizens and as Christians.  Today’s Gospel is about Christian Freedom.  We’ll look at John 8 again in a minute, but first:

 

1. What is Freedom?

   1. 1 Corinthians 6:12 – “I have the right to do anything,” you say – but not everything is beneficial.  “I have the right to do anything,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

2. John 8:34 – Jesus said, “Whoever commits sin is a slave to sin…

   1. John 8:36 – But if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

3. Call to Action

   1. Jesus

 

Con:    Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day…
