Are you living in joy? The message of Christmas says you can… --- What are you hoping to get this Christmas? What if you could have some hope, a little peace, a hint of joy, and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are loved? These gifts—the best gifts—are exactly what Jesus offers!

At Christmas we celebrate the wondrous birth of Christ, but less noted is the divine timing of His arrival on Earth. Jesus was born at the perfect moment, fulfilling God's plan to adopt us into His family. In Galatians, the Apostle Paul encouraged his readers to cast off the law and live fully as God's heirs, reflecting the generous fruit of their freedom and inheritance. It's an apt reminder for us today, particularly at Christmas, to know that God has given us the gift of everlasting salvation through Christ. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for CHRISTMAS HEIRS, a verse-by-verse study of Galatians.

Send us a textTitle: Remember Your SlaveryPreacher: Robert RosaSeries: Advent: The Fullness of TimePassage: Galatians 4:1-3
Pastor Dan reminded us that before Christ saved us, we lived like slaves under sin, but in the fullness of time God sent His Son to redeem us and adopt us as His own. Through the Spirit, believers now live as free children of God—not in fear, not in legalism, but in the joyful confidence of sons and heirs. The call is simple: stop living like slaves when Christ came to make us free.#Galatians4 #FreedomInChrist #ChildOfGod #Adoption #Redeemed #ChristmasHope #PastorDan
Pastor Randy teaches on Galatians 4:21-31
Join us as Pastor Isaac teaches about the Man who came to represent His people. The post Galatians 4:4-5 appeared first on Immanuel Baptist Church.
Galatians 4 New King James VersionSons and Heirs Through Christ4 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.Fears for the Church8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all. 13 You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?17 They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them. 18 But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, 20 I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.Two Covenants21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:“Rejoice, O barren,You who do not bear!Break forth and shout,You who are not in labor!For the desolate has many more childrenThan she who has a husband.”28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

"How does Galatians 4 shape our understanding of Christian freedom today? How do we understand the tension between the ‘works of the flesh' and the ‘fruit of the Spirit,' and what does this practically look like in the life of a believer? In Galatians 6, Paul talks about bearing one another's burdens, not growing weary in doing good, and reaping what we sow. How do these instructions fit into Paul's larger argument about freedom in Christ and life in community? In today's episode, Director of Discipleship for the Porch, Tyler Moffett, discusses Galatians 4-6 and what it looks like to be fully formed by Christ, the fruit of the Spirit, and how we can experience full freedom through Christ.

Pastor Randy teaches on Galatians 4:8-11
November 23rd, 2025
In this episode we feature a talk by John Chapman given at a Christmas carol service in the 1980s. It's a great example of preaching Christ at Christmas time, as well as a wonderful meditation on the theology of adoption. Questions answered in this episode: - Why do Christians celebrate Christmas? - How can I be in God's family? - What's the meaning of Christmas?

Galatians 4:21-31 draws a sharp line between two ways of relating to God: striving by human effort or resting in His promise. Through the story of Hagar and Sarah, Paul invites us to pause and quietly consider the question, “Who's Your Mother?”—that is, are you living out of the spiritual lineage of slavery or the freedom found in God's promise? One path leads to the burdens of law and self-reliance, while the other opens the door to life as children of God, motivated by gratitude instead of fear. Paul urges us to abandon the cycle of performance and receive our secure identity in Christ—a gift, not something earned. In this text, he calls us to let go of old mindsets and embrace the privilege of living boldly as free children of the promise.
Guest Preacher, Ben Edfeldt, preaches from Galatians 4:1-7 on Call to Care Sunday.

Are you going back to chains Jesus broke? In this message on Galatians 4:8–20, we confront both the subtle and dramatic ways believers drift from gospel freedom back to forms of spiritual slavery—be it through performance, religious rules, approval-seeking, or addiction achievement. Paul's urgent warning to the Galatian church becomes hauntingly relevant for us today: You can't have Christ and keep your chains. This message exposes how easy it is to slip from grace into works, from sonship into striving, from deep joy into quiet compromise. Pastor Matthew calls out modern idols, exposes the power of being “known by God,” and urges us to repentance, restored living, and urgent participation in God's mission. Whether you feel stuck, are tempted to return to old habits, or simply want to hunger for more of Christ, this message will confront you at your crossroads.
