FREEDOM LEADER RESOURCES
FREED PEOPLE, FREE PEOPLE!
As a group leader, you have the honor of guiding people into the freedom that only comes through an authentic relationship with Jesus. Galatians 5:13-14 guides us as leaders, "It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom. " Thank you for serving the families of Freedom Church.
