The Comeback KidSample

When you think of being “free,” do you picture doing whatever you want? Like staying up all night playing video games or eating all the junk food you want? That might sound fun at first, but how do you feel the next day? Tired, cranky, or unable to focus? What seemed like freedom led to feeling worse.

Real freedom isn’t just about doing what we want—it’s about when we do what’s good for us and others. Today’s verse reminds us that with the gift of freedom comes responsibility and a choice to give back. When we choose to help and care for people around us, we live out the kind of freedom God offers us.

This week, talk to your small group about what freedom means and how you can use it to make a difference for others.
