Hope of New Freedom Hope of New Life Hope of New Worship 40-48

Hope of New Freedom How can I have the hope of true, spiritual freedom?

In the News

“She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.”

Spiritual Political Freedom Freedom Defecting Cuban ballet dancers leap for joy

Lesson Headings Why Is Rescue Required? (Ezekiel 34:2b-6) What Does Rescue Involve? (Ezekiel 34:11-16) Who Provides Rescue? (Ezekiel 34:22-24)

Why Is Rescue Required? Ezekiel 34:2b-6 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What Does Rescue Involve? Ezekiel 34:11-16

Who Provides Rescue? Ezekiel 34:22-24

Life Goal To help you thank God for the freedom you enjoy under Christ’s lordship

For Further Discussion What does a good shepherd do for his flock? What are signals that a shepherd is not good to his flock? How do people in the church respond to both good shepherds and bad shepherds? (Ezek. 34:2b-6) Reflecting upon what you know of the ministry of Jesus, how did He minister to His people as a good shepherd to sheep? (Ezek. 34:11-16) What evidence do you see in your life that you need rescuing and cannot save yourself? (Ezek. 34:11-16) What or whom are you looking toward for that rescue? (Ezek. 34:22-24)

WHAT NOW? MY MISSION How can you put into action this week what you’ve learned in God’s Word about freedom in Christ? As God’s people, believers are to show Christlike concern for and give compassionate help to those who are lost or needy. Be certain that God is at work to rescue the lost and to strengthen His people. Be thankful that God kept His promise to rescue the lost and give them freedom by sending Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
