Lesson 1 - The Fear Of Man Leads To Bondage

If we want to get free, it's helpful to know how we got in bondage in the first place. Lesson 1 exposes one of the core roots that cause bondage: the fear of man. When we're afraid of people, or they're afraid of us, the chains of bondage begin to tighten around us. Once we recognize the cause of bondage, we can begin to take steps towards true freedom.

Lesson 2 - The Fear Of God Leads To Freedom

If the fear of man leads us into bondage, how do we get out? The fear of God. A healthy fear of God can break all kinds of bondage, setting us free to live the lives we were created to live. And when we're free, not only will we be blessed, but others will be blessed as we begin to do all the God has called us to do.

Lesson 3 - A Burning Heart Precedes A Burning Bush

Sometimes we're looking for a burning bush, for God to speak to us and tell us what to do like He did for Moses. But God is looking for a burning heart: someone whose heart burns for the things for which His heart burns. If we want to see a burning bush, we need to let God see our burning heart.

Lesson 4 - God Rescues People Through People

If God wants to rescue people, why does He need us? We are His hands and feet on the earth, the "body of Christ." It may be His idea, and we couldn't do it without Him, but His idea also includes us. I'm sure He could do it without us, but I know it's a lot more fun to "step into the story."

Lesson 5 - Letting God's Will Overcome Your Won't

When God calls us, we often protest, saying "Who am I?" The better question is "Whose am I?" When God calls us, He says "I will be with you" and that makes all the difference. We're in good hands with God when we forget about our weaknesses and remember His strengths. (Message: Eric Elder; Worship Song: "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" written by Martin Smith, led by Al Lowry and James Olmos; Running time: 30:08)

Lesson 6 - The Battle Of Faith And Flesh

When we step out in faith, things don't always go the way we planned. But that doesn't mean God isn't with us. Knowing in advance that there will be two battles can help us. When this happens, we must "return to the Lord" in order to win the battle of faith first, then the battle of flesh will follow. (Message: Eric Elder; Worship Song: "I Walk By Faith" written by Chris Falson, led by Eric Elder; Running time: 30:21)

Lesson 7 - God Helps Us With Both Battles

We don't have to fight the battles of faith and flesh alone. When we "return to the Lord," He can help us fight the battle of faith, reminding us of His promises to us, and His call on our life. Then He can remind us that His arm is strong, and He will fight the battle of the flesh, too. (Message: Eric Elder; Worship Song: "Forever" written by Chris Tomlin, led by Eric Elder; Running Time: 30:43)

Lesson 8 - God Sets People Free So All Will Know

Why does God set people free the way He does? Why did he harden Pharaoh's heart? Why not just set the people free and be done with it? Because He has another goal in mind beyond just setting people free: He wants to do it in a way that the world will know that He is the Lord. (Message: Eric Elder; Worship Song: "I Declare" written and led by Eric Elder; Running time: 30:41)

Lesson 9 - Ultimate Victory Comes Through Ultimate Sacrifice

If you want to get a little bit free, a little bit of sacrifice will do. But ultimate freedom requires ultimate sacrifice. In the case of the Israelites, the price for freedom was the death of the firstborn - the firstborn sons of their captors, and the firstborn males of their flocks. For us today, freedom comes at the price of God's Firstborn Son and Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
