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:
-
What is Freedom?
-
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.
-
-
John 8:34 – Jesus said, “Whoever commits sin is a slave to sin…
-
John 8:36 – But if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
