1 John 3:1-3. Moms like things clean. And we’re glad they do. That’s really good. In this new series, we’re kind of talking about that. We’re going to be talking about “Passionate Purity” and looking at purity from different angles. Today we’re looking at purity for our future. Moms are also concerned about our future, aren’t they? But more important than our future on this earth is our eternal future. And cleanliness, or rather, “purity”, spiritual purity, is important to our eternity. It is because of the hope the Christian has in Christ that we purify ourselves, as he is pure. Because we have this great hope in Jesus and will be like him in heaven, we’re to become like him on earth. We purify ourselves now because of the future we have as a child of God. Hope is a powerful motivator. And Jesus should be what motivates us to live pure lives.

Galatians 5&6. In this lesson, we look at the last two chapters of Galatians where Paul says the Christian has true freedom. But what kind of freedom? Political freedom? No. Freedom from morality? No. Jesus came to give a freedom of far greater value than any kind of freedom on this earth. Then Paul illustrates for us what a person's life looks like who is free in Christ.
