Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind but now I see.
’Twas Grace that taught my hear to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns,
Unending love, Amazing Grace.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns,
Unending love, Amazing Grace.
(REPEAT)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine.
But God who called me here below,
Will be forever mine,
Will be forever mine;
You are forever mine.

Living In
Freedom
Rome
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are
truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my
teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free.”
“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We
have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean,
‘You will be set free’?”
- John 8:31-36 (NLT)
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins
is a slave of sin… So if the Son sets you free, you are
truly free.”
- John 8:31-36 (NLT)
We are no longer slaves to sin… Sin is no longer
your master… Instead, you live under the
freedom of God’s grace.
- Romans 6:6, 14 (NLT)
The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave
to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do
what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I
hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this
shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the
one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
- Romans 7:14-25 (NLT)
And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my
sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I
want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do
what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I
don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong;
it is sin living in me that does it.
- Romans 7:14-25 (NLT)
I have discovered this principle of life—that when I
want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.
I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another
power within me that is at war with my mind. This
power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within
me. Oh, what a miserable person I am!
- Romans 7:14-25 (NLT)
Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin
and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ
our Lord.
- Romans 7:14-25 (NLT)
If I want to be free from the rule of sin in my life, I must:
A. Choose where my loyalties lie
Don’t you realize that you become the slave of
whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to
sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey
God, which leads to righteous living.
- Romans 6:16 (NLT)
If I want to be free from the rule of sin in my life, I must:
A. Choose where my loyalties lie
B. Depend on the power of God
“Pray that you will not be overcome by
temptation.”
- Luke 22:40 (NLT)
And now, all glory to God, who is able to
keep you from stumbling, and who will
bring you into his glorious presence
innocent of sin and with great joy.
- Jude 1:24 (NLT)
And now, all glory to God, who is able to
keep you from stumbling, and who will
bring you into his glorious presence
innocent of sin and with great joy.
- Jude 1:24 (NLT)
He will keep the temptation from becoming
so strong that you can’t stand up against it.
When you are tempted, he will show you a
way out so that you will not give in to it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13b (NLT)
If I want to be free from the rule of sin in my life, I must:
A. Choose where my loyalties lie
B. Depend on the power of God
C. Grow more like Jesus every day
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had
that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the
Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more
and more like him as we are changed into his glorious
image.
- 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT)
If I want to be free from the rule of sin in my life, I must:
A. Choose where my loyalties lie
B. Depend on the power of God
C. Grow more like Jesus every day
D. Get back up when I fall down
“This is what the Lord says: ‘When people fall down,
don’t they get up again? When they discover they’re on
the wrong road, don’t they turn back? Then why do these
people stay on their self-destructive path?... They cling
tightly to their lies and will not turn around… Is anyone
sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, ‘What a
terrible thing I have done’?’”
- Jeremiah 8:4-6 (NLT)
The godly may trip seven times, but they will get
up again.
- Proverbs 24:16 (NLT)
Living In
Freedom
He is so rich in kindness that he purchased
our freedom through the blood of his Son,
and our sins are forgiven…
~ Ephesians 1:7 (NLT)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind but now I see.
’Twas Grace that taught my hear to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns,
Unending love, Amazing Grace.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns,
Unending love, Amazing Grace.
(REPEAT)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine.
But God who called me here below,
Will be forever mine,
Will be forever mine;
You are forever mine.
