*INDEPENDENCE DAY** *
INDEPENDENCE DAY \\ \\ SCRIPTURE: JOHN 8:34-36, ROMANS 8:2
JOHN 8:34-36 (NIV) \\ \\
34 JESUS REPLIED, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, EVERYONE WHO SINS IS A SLAVE TO SIN.
35 NOW A SLAVE HAS NO PERMANENT PLACE IN THE FAMILY, BUT A SON BELONGS TO IT FOREVER.
36 SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.
\\ THEME: IT IS ONLY IN CHRIST JESUS THAT WE FIND TRUE FREEDOM
\\ PURPOSE: HELP BELIEVERS TO RECOGNIZE THE FREEDOM THEY HAVE IN CHRIST AND MOTIVATE SEEKERS TO \\ ACCEPT CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF THEIR LIVES.
\\ \\ \\ NEXT SATURDAY IS GOING TO BE THE 4TH OF JULY.
AND ON THAT DAY AMERICA WILL BE *233 YEARS OLD*.
WE BEGAN OUR NATION BASED ON THE IDEALS OF LIBERTY, RESPONSIBILITY, GODLINESS,
AND THE FREEDOM TO BECOME WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR US TO BE.
THIS WAS A NEW AND REVOLUTIONARY IDEA.
_________________________________________________________ \\ \\ WHEN WE CELEBRATE THE 4TH OF JULY
WE'RE ACTUALLY CELEBRATING
THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF FREEDOM THAT WE HAVE.
AND AS WE CELEBRATE OUR FREEDOM,
WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT FREEDOM ISN’T FREE.
FREEDOM IS EXPENSIVE, IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
IT HAS COST SOME PEOPLE EVERYTHING THEY HAD, INCLUDING THEIR VERY LIVES.
FREEDOM MAY NOT BE FREE,
BUT IT IS VERY VALUABLE.
\\ \\ THE IDEAL OF FREEDOM IS AN IDEAL
THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHER’S THOUGHT WAS
VALUABLE ENOUGH TO RISK *EVERYTHING* FOR.
THEY RISKED THEIR FORTUNES, THEIR FAMILIES,
THEIR REPUTATIONS, AND THEIR HONOR.
THEY RISKED THEIR VERY LIVES AND MANY OF THEM PAID FOR OUR FREEDOM WITH THEIR OWN BLOOD
AND WITH THE BLOOD OF THEIR CHILDREN.
\\ \\ TODAY AS WE WORSHIP IN OUR SECURITY AND COMFORT,
IT'S BECAUSE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG MEN
HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES AND SHED THEIR BLOOD
BOTH HERE AND ON FOREIGN SOIL.
THEY DIED IN FORSAKEN PLACES WITH NAMES THAT WE DON'T REMEMBER
SO THAT WE COULD HAVE THE JOY
AND RESPONSIBILITY OF FREEDOM.
THOMAS JEFFERSON WROTE, IN A LETTER TO
WILLIAM SMITH DATED NOVEMBER 13, 1787,
*THE “TREE OF LIBERTY MUST BE REFRESHED FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE BLOOD OF PATRIOTS & TYRANTS” *
________________________________________________________
FREEDOM, MY FRIEND, IS NOT FREE,
AND THE PRICE IS ALWAYS PAID IN BLOOD.
________________________________________________________ \\ \\ THE BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED IN IRAQ, WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED FOR OUR FREEDOM.
THE BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED IN THE WAR FOR INDEPENDANCE WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT BLOOD WAS SPILLED FOR OUR FREEDOM.
*NO!*
2,000 YEARS AGO A YOUNG MAN’S BLOOD WAS SPILLED ON THE GROUND
SO THAT WE COULD ALL EXPERIENCE FREEDOM.
\\ \\ JESUS CAME TO EARTH, IN ORDER TO BRING US FREEDOM FROM ALL KINDS OF HUMAN PROBLEMS.
JESUS HIMSELF, SAYS IN
*JOHN 8:34-36 (NIV) \\ **34 **JESUS REPLIED**, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, EVERYONE WHO SINS IS A SLAVE TO SIN.
35 NOW A SLAVE HAS NO PERMANENT PLACE IN THE FAMILY, BUT A SON BELONGS TO IT FOREVER.
36 SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.
*
\\ \\ LATER ON, THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE THESE WORDS ABOUT JESUS AND HIS MISSION TO SET US FREE.
READING FROM THE MESSAGE
*ROMANS 8:1-2 (THE MESSAGE)*
*TITLED: THE SOLUTION IS LIFE ON GOD’S TERMS*
* 1–2 **8** **W**ITH THE ARRIVAL OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH, THAT FATEFUL DILEMMA IS RESOLVED.
*
* THOSE WHO ENTER INTO CHRIST’S *
* (BEING-HERE-FOR-US) NO LONGER HAVE TO LIVE UNDER A CONTINUOUS, LOW-LYING BLACK CLOUD.
*
* A NEW POWER IS IN OPERATION.
THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST, *
* LIKE A STRONG WIND, HAS MAGNIFICENTLY CLEARED THE AIR, *
* FREEING YOU FROM A FATED LIFETIME OF BRUTAL TYRANNY AT THE HANDS OF SIN AND DEATH.*
THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO BE CELEBRATING INDEPENDANCE DAY.
CELEBRATING OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE TYRANNY AND BONDAGE OF AN OPPRESSIVE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT,
WE'LL BE CELEBRATING AN INDEPENDENCE THAT WAS WON 233 YEARS AGO.
BUT THE INDEPENDANCE DAY THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO CELEBRATE
IS AN INDEPENDENCE, THAT IS ONLY TEMPORARY.
THERE IS A DAY THAT IS COMING WHEN WE WILL NO LONGER ENJOY THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE NOW.
WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE AS A NATION
EVERY 4TH OF JULY.
BUT SHOULDN'T WE AS CHRISTIANS,
ALSO CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM
THE TYRANNY AND BONDAGE OF
SIN, GUILT, FEAR, AND DEATH;
OUR INDEPENDENCE WAS WON OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO?
SHOULDN'T WE CELEBRATE THIS INDEPENDENCE THAT WILL LAST FOR ALL OF ETERNITY?
\\ \\ IF YOU WANT TO BE TRULY FREE,
FREE FROM ALL THAT HAS TIED YOUR LIFE DOWN
>>>
AND BURIED YOU UNDER A MOUNTAINOUS WEIGHT OF FEAR AND GUILT, THEN THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU.
\\ \\ TODAY WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THREE WAYS
THAT JESUS SETS US FREE.
WE ONLY HAVE TO HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE HIM
AND FAITH TO BELIEVE IN HIM.
\\ \\ \\ *THE FIRST FREEDOM THAT CHRIST GIVES IS: \\ I. FREEDOM FROM GUILT \\ * OUR PAST CAN’T HAUNT US ANY MORE.
\\ \\ \\ HAVE YOU BEEN DRAGGING YOUR PAST AROUND WITH YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
YOU’VE DONE THINGS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE HURT OTHERS AND HAVE HURT YOU.
AT TIMES YOU’VE FAILED MISERABLY.
YOU MAY HAVE FAILED AT MARRIAGE.
YOU MAY HAVE FAILED AT PARENTING.
MAYBE YOU’VE FAILED FINANCIALLY
BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN IRRESPONSIBILITY.
MAYBE YOU’VE FAILED AT RELIGION – IT’S JUST TOO HARD TO KEEP ALL THOSE RULES.
YOU’VE FAILED AND FAILED AND FAILED
AND THE GUILT OF YOUR FAILURES IS CHAINED TO YOU.
THE GUILT IS HEAVY AND IT'S THERE ON THE FLOOR BEHIND YOU, HOLDING YOU DOWN
YOUR PAST SINS ARE A WEIGHT THAT HOLDS YOU DOWN WHEN IN YOUR HEART
WHEN YOU LONG TO SOAR INTO THE SKY.
\\ \\ HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE FREE FROM THAT GUILT?
\\ \\ *THE KEY WORD HERE IS YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN.
