Independance can be a good thing or a bad thing
Israel wanted to be independant – they wanted a king other than God
Are you satisfied with the Lord – are you satisfied in Him?
Independance turns bad when it becomes selfish
Luke 15:11-32
There is no good result for those who disobey Christ
Be careful when freedom comes (college years, new work schedule, etc.)…
Make sure God is always your priority
Keeping God first will keep you from being selfish
Luke 15:1-10
Finding the missing piece is a joyous occasion
When a person turns to the Lord, rejoicing should follow from all of us
2 Corinthians 3:17
No matter your situation – you can have liberty in Christ
Enjoy a life of freedon…and use it unselfishly
Galatians 5:1-18
With Christ living in you, there is no reason to be unhappy
We have liberty in Christ, but what do we do with it?
One thing is to show Christ’s love toward other people
Serve others. What good service do you give to someone else?
Make it a big deal to show love, and serve others
