Growing in Knowledge
- Read Romans 6:15-23. Discuss the polarity Paul presents regarding slavery. Discuss how this may contrast with our culture’s view of “freedom.”
- This passage ends with a statement about the “free gift of God.” Discuss the relationship between “the gift” and our following Jesus in obedience.
Feeling Life Deeply
- What do we usually do with our slavery to sin? Why is our awareness of our freedom crucial to our living in freedom?
Living Courageously
- The people in Exodus cried out to God for rescue. How does pride keep us from crying out to him?
- Read Psalm 88 as a lament and then Psalm 40 as a song of freedom and joy—close with prayers of thanksgiving.
