  Objective - Students will learn that accepting God’s forgiveness sets them free from sin and will be encouraged to live in this new freedom. Key Scripture - Romans 6:11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Summary - Today’s lesson was the third lesson in a four-part series called Jail Break: Set Free From Sin. This series will focus on the doctrinal truth of sin, but more importantly, how we can live in freedom from it. A simple definition of sin is this: anything we think, say, or do that disobeys God. Because of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, we are free from sin. We highlighted the fact that even if we don’t always feel free, we are free! We don’t have to live controlled by sin. Since we used the sixth chapter of the Book of Romans as the main text for the lesson, it would be helpful for you to read Romans 6:1-14. Some of the truths we learned are these: We are dead to sin. S

A simple definition of sin is this: anything we think, say, or do that disobeys God. This lesson specifically focused on the universal sin of pride. In various places, the Bible uses the imagery of being “lifted up” when it refers to pride. The higher someone lifts themselves up, the more unstable their life becomes. Pride leads to destruction (Proverbs 16:18). But we also highlighted that pride is stealing honor or credit from God. We used the lives of two Old Testament kings, Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, as examples of how pride

  Objective - Students will learn that they are set free from sin’s domination and be challenged to live in the freedom provided by Christ. Scripture - Romans 7:24-25a O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?   I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! Summary - Today’s lesson was the first lesson in a four-part series called Jail Break: Set Free From Sin. A simple definition of sin is this: anything we think, say, or do that disobeys God. In this lesson, we discussed the fact that because we all have a sin nature, we are all dominated by our sin. In our own strength, we can’t defeat sin. It is only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that sin can be destroyed. He is the only way that we can be free of the domination of sin! Your student was given three different techniques to fight against the sins that often tempt them. Those techniques are memorizing specific verses of Scripture, finding accountability from a trusted friend, and
