The Big Idea: Jesus was the most free human ever and He can take us into that same level of freedom.

John 8:28-36

Three Steps to Total Freedom:

1. Make a Declaration of Dependence: 

John 15:1-8

2. Throw off Religious systems that create barriers rather than freedom.

The Truth sets you free. It does not bind you into religious obligations

Colossians 2:6-23

‭‭

3. Take up your cross every day

Luke 9:23-25

Philippians 3:10-11

‭‭

Response:

• Make a Declaration of Dependence

• Take up your cross daily

• B.L.E.S.S. Your Oikos
