FREE PEOPLE - WEEK 3
Welcome to FREE PEOPLERules aren't known to be famous or well liked. But in a world where Jesus leads us, rules can do more than keep you safe. They can become our allies and an opportunity to love and serve the world around us. Everyone (students, parents, leaders) need to know that the right rule can set you free. It doesn't always feel like freedom when a rule limits something you want, but what you want changes when you know who Jesus is.
THIS WEEK:In Week 3 of FREE PEOPLE, we continue talking about James, Jesus' great commandment, rules and freedom.
THE BIBLE:Take some time to read these passages on your own. Think them through, journal about them, pray about them.
CONSIDER THIS:This week, what is one way you're going to make decisions that benefit others instead of yourself?
THINK ABOUT IT:these are simple questions to help you continue to think this through. Use these questions in part of your journalling time, your quiet time or prayer time. However you do it, this is NOT homework.
If you were King or Queen for a day... what would you do? Which rules would you want to make or break right away?
What was the easiest decision you made today? What was the most difficult? When's the last time you disagreed with someone about a decision that needed to be made? What's an example of a selfish decision you could make? Can you think of a time when someone made a decision that benefitted you instead of themselves? What's one way you have power or influence over others? What's one way you could use your power or influence to benefit yourself? What about someone else? |
