“Set Free”

The title of the first panel is “Set Free.” The good news of the Gospel is that God in Christ took the initiative and broke the chains of sin and death that bind and restrict our lives. We are set free by God’s grace-filled love in Jesus Christ to live life to the fullest and to reach out and tell others beyond the doors of the church about a God who loves us and sets us free.

As you study this first panel ask yourself this question – Who is God nudging you to reach out to and share the good news of God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. Perhaps it is a family member or a friend or a neighbor who is carrying a heavy burden. We who have come to know the precious gift of freedom in Christ are eager to share how we came to believe and the difference that Christ makes in our life. We are glad to extend an invitation to them to come and worship with us and see what Christ can do in their life. It is amazing how this simple act of reaching out can help someone take the first step in their journey back to Christ who breaks the chains of their bondage so that they may find their freedom in Christ.
