This Is Us! (Week Six)Sample

DAY ONE

Welcome to our daily devotional for our new series This Is Us. During this series we are going to journey through our Freedom Church DNA.  Some of you may know that DNA is like the secret code inside you—the thing that makes you, well, you!  You may also know that God created us in His image and wants us to live our best life.

This week we are looking at our Freedom DNA We Will Elevate & Relentless Reaching, but first let's take a look at We Will Elevate and how Jesus shows us how to honor God and people. 

We Will Elevate

We freely give honor to everyone: women, men, all ages, and all races. We reveal God’s value for each person by opening our homes and our lives. We honor leaders who serve us. We honor God when we build a culture that honors people. 

READ:

"Jesus Teaches on the Mountain" in the Beginners Bible (pages 318-322) or in Matthew 5 & Luke 6.

So many people wanted to see Jesus—children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents—they all wanted to hear what Jesus was teaching and learn from Him. 

ASK:

How do you learn about Jesus?  What is your favorite way to learn more about Jesus? 

REMEMBER:

So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female (Genesis 1:27).

SAY:

God created me, 

Magnificent you can see. 

Every cell and part, 

Were designed in His heart. 

From the beginning of creation,

Every clan, tribe, and nation. 

Made in His image, 

With purpose, love, and to encourage. 

Whatever come what may, 

This is my DNA!
