On Sunday, Pastor Dave talked about how people used to observe Independence Day. It was a time to reflect, in humility, on God's greatness. On July 4, America celebrates her freedom. Followers of Christ can celebrate their freedom too...a freedom to rely on God's greatness, even and especially in our own weakness.

• Have you ever boasted of a weakness?  On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:5)

• How might we personally, as a community, or as a country grow stronger through humility?

• Where do you see in someone you admire a strength that came through weakness?  (In yourself?)

• This Fourth of July weekend what does Jesus give you the freedom to do?
