1. This morning we studied passages that teach us about "spiritual freedom." 2. According to John 8:36, Jesus is the One who makes us free. 3. This evening we are making a more detailed study of the fact that "Jesus provides spiritual freedom."
Discussion:

II. IN ACTS, LUKE WROTE ABOUT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE MADE FREE BY THE LORD, INCLUDING:
A. Jewish people in Jerusalem (Acts 2:5, 37-38, 41) B. people in Samaria (Acts 8:5, 12) C. the eunuch of Ethiopia (Acts 8:35-39) D. Saul (Acts 9:18; 22:16) E. Cornelius (Acts 10:48) F. Lydia (Acts 16:14-15) G. the jailer in Philippi (Acts 16:29-33) H. people in Corinth (Acts 18:8) I. people in Ephesus (Acts 19:3-5).
Conclusion:
1. Today we have concentrated on the Lord's statutes and judgments that relate to "spiritual freedom." 2. Let us close with the serious warning given in Galatians 5:1.
