REJOICE: In our Freedom

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached by Rev. Tommy Dove at the Grace Place on Sunday, July 6, 2014. To get the most from these questions, go to http://www.graceplace.us and click on “Streaming.”  From there you can watch or listen to the service first.

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)
How did you celebrate Independence Day?
Where are you on fireworks?  Love them or hate them?
What is your favorite July 4th food?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it
Galatians 5:1-26

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)
As we celebrated our nation’s 238th year of independence, thousands of teens arrived in Nashville for International Youth Convention (IYC).  Their theme verse is Galatians 5:25 reminding them to keep in step with the Spirit.  A big part of celebrating our freedom is the responsibility of remaining free.  Happy freedom, ya’ll!

Why was Paul so fired up at the Galatians?
What sacrifices have been made for your spiritual freedom?  (Think after Jesus)
What outside influences threaten your spiritual freedom?
What are signs that we are taking our spiritual freedom for granted?
How do you repay your price of spiritual freedom?
Are you an agitator or an activator?


Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
