Freedom in Christ

Start in prayer

Today, we are going to talk a little bit more about what we learned last week. Who here remembers what we learned?

Jesus cleansing us from all our sins

So, today we are going to talk about the freedom we have in Christ if we accept him and follow him.

But first! What holiday is coming up?

Why do we celebrate the forth of July?

Why is it important to do so?

Did you know, that the troops dying for this country is a lot like Jesus dying for the whole world?

What are some similarities?

What is freedom?

And what did Jesus set us free from?

Have you ever thanked a veteran?

Just like thanking a Veteran, have you ever thanked Jesus for his sacrifice as well?

Now, as we celebrate july 4th

show a flag

the flags colors are?

Do you have any ideas what they stand for?

Red, White and Blue: The colors red, white and blue have similar significance in both American Patriotism and Christianity.

Secretary of the Continental Congress reported on the Seal and the American flag, saying that white signifies purity and innocence; red signifies hardiness & valor; and blue is the color of the Chief, also signifying vigilance, perseverance & justice.”

In Christianity, white also signifies purity; red signifies the valor of Jesus whose blood was shed for us; blue signifies justice and mercy coming from the Throne of Heaven.

John 8:36 “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
