  Objective - Students will learn about true freedom and will be challenged to choose to no longer be a slave to sin.   Key Scripture - Romans 6:1-2   Key Thought - Freedom from sin isn’t freedom to sin.   Lesson Summary - Tonight’s lesson is part of a series called “Man Alive.” The series focuses on the  brokenness of all human beings. Tonight’s lesson focused on the freedom from sin.   Before someone trusts Christ as Savior, he/she is dead in sin and is the slave to sin. When someone trusts Christ as Savior, he/she is dead to sin and alive in Christ. Unfortunately, many times we can live like sin is still our master. It is easy to abuse the grace of God and continue to sin on a regular basis.   We began our discussion with this proposed idea: “If experiencing God’s grace is a good thing, and every time we sin we experience God’s grace, we should just keep sinning. This way, we get to do what we want and reap the benefits of God’s grace.” Using the

Lesson – Man Alive Series – Man Alive   Objective - Students will learn that their brokenness is reflective of sin and choose to follow God’s plan for fixing that brokenness through a relationship with Jesus   Key Scripture - Genesis 3:15   Key Thought - God has a plan to fix the brokenness.   Lesson Summary – This morning, we began a series called “Man Alive.” The series focuses on the brokenness of all human beings.

But when the first man, Adam, chose to sin, our world took a bad turn that had a sad result. As a result of sin, death passed on to all men because all have sinned. The good news is that God had a great plan to restore all of mankind back to Himself. Jesus died to make the payment for sin and t
