Outline 3: God's Deliverance--Our Response--This outline reveals that true freedom is only found in our service to God. Because God has delivered us from bondage, we need to respond in absolute commitment to Him. (Exodus 19:1-8; 1 Peter 2:9-10)
Outline 4: Remembering & Telling Stories--This outline encourages us to understand that telling God stories helps define who we are. Because God has chosen us to participate in His Story, our lives have purpose, and we can celebrate! (Hebrews 11; Exodus 24:1-11)
