Willow Midweek | New Freedom: Freedom Follows Surrender | Gina Cherian
WEEK #3 | MARCH 27 | FREEDOM TO (Gina Cherian)
Possible Reference Text: Galatians 5 verses13-14 (ESV)
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for
the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
We were freed to live lives of love: to love freely as Christ did, reconciling the broken places all
around us. The call to this kind of life won’t necessarily be easy or comfortable. Christ’s journey
to give us freedom was downward and painful. But He proclaimed victory over death and, in
the process, gave us freedom to live abundant lives in Him. This week will envision us to look at
what free living looks like – really. Not in just getting to do whatever we want, whenever we
want to. But in loving God and loving our neighbors.
