We hope this practice will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level. 

For November 15 Sunday worship:

This week's sermon: Called to Freedom

Scripture: Galatians 5:1, 13-25

Guiding Questions:

1. Read Galatians 5:1. Paul begins with a declarative statement: For freedom Christ has set us free. What is freedom? When you think of freedom, what images come to mind? Do these images describe the freedom Paul is talking about?

2. Galatians 5:13-15 reminds us that we are to use our freedom with love. What are our freedoms that can be used to share love with others? How do you celebrate the freedom to "love your neighbor as yourself"? Or is there a disconnect?

3. Galatians 5:16-21 is where Paul describes ways we want to love ourselves more than God. He calls these "works of the flesh." Some of these on the list are uncomfortable to discuss with others; some are common to all of us. Which on this list is something that may be on your list? Why is it difficult to admit this?

4. Galatians 5:22-25 are much easier to read out loud. These are the fruit of the Spirit, which contrast with our non-spiritual desires. How is the fruit of the Spirit related to freedom in Christ? How do we consider what freedoms Christ gives us?

Please join us this Sunday as we begin a new sermon series: Dear Children of God: OMG. This Sunday's message is Called to Freedom and our scripture reading is Galatians 5:1, 13-25
