Sermon Summary
This week was an incredible week of freedom and healing. We are preparing our city for renewal by stirring our hearts in the revival that His presence brings. You may have taken the opportunity to prepare your heart last week for the experience you had in Church this week. The sections of the Freedom Cycle are intended to be walked through so frequently that they become second nature. When that happens, you will find yourself quickly and immediately confessing to God, and to others, for your forgiveness and healing.
In your group this week, take some time and share what truths the LORD has revealed to you as you have been working through the Freedom Cycle. Through the consistent practice of this cycle you are now hearing the Truth that will set you free, and sharing allows others to remind you of and speak this Truth into your life.
