Join us for our Sunday morning study through the book of Galatians.

Daily Dose of Hope January 8, 2026   Scripture: Galatians 4   Prayer:  Lord, How we need you.  Thank you for your presence, thank you for the way you continue to pursue us.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are in our first week of our new reading plan, Journey into the Letters of Paul, during which we will walk through Paul's letters chronologically.  We are currently in Galatians, Paul's first letter.   Our chapter for today is Galatians 4. Boy, is Paul frustrated with the Galatians or what?  He doesn't mince words.  But he continues to make his point. Paul contrasts humanity's condition under the law versus in Christ. Under the law, people were heirs to a promise that God made with Abraham, but really they were no better than slaves, for they were still in bondage to the law. Under Christ, however, there is true freedom.  People aren't merely heirs to a promise.  They are children of the one true God.    Paul talks about the Galatians before the false teachers entered the picture.  They were open to Paul's teaching.  Paul alludes to an illness he had when he was with them initially.  They cared for him as if he was Christ.  Their hospitality and love was extravagant.  He was blessed by them immensely.  But now, Paul appears to be personally wounded by their rejection of him.  How quickly things changed.   They moved from reliance on grace to reliance on the law.  Paul is heartbroken.    Our salvation has nothing to do with the law. Rather, our salvation rests in the work of Christ. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. When we are saved, God puts his Holy Spirit within us. There is an intimacy there. Now, we call out "Abba, Father" which effectively means "Daddy." We aren't slave children. We are truly God's children whom he loves. We can rest in the love of our father. We don't have to be fearful or timid. We can spend time with our Father God, sit in his lap, and soak up the love he has for us.   I'll close today with Romans 8:15-16, So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.    Do you consider God your daddy?  Do you clearly understand your relationship as a child of the one true King?  If you still have questions about this, or doubts, spend some time today and write them down.  Pray about them.  Let's see if over the course of this reading plan, God begins to speak to you regarding your list. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

As we move through Galatians 4, the apostle Paul will continue to show the Christians in Galatia, not only that the law won't justify them, but that the law itself shows us that there is bondage under the fleshly ordinances that are found there. He will use Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar to further explain this important truth.

Galatians 4:4-5 – Fullness of Time

Sermon preached by Jonathan Lornier at the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai on Galatians :4:4-5

God With Us - Christmas Eve - Galatians 4:3-7 by Peter Lamme & Steve Coward

In this message, we emphasize how God sent His Son at the perfect time to redeem us from bondage under the law, granting us adoption as children and the indwelling Spirit who cries "Abba, Father."

This Advent sermon reflects on Galatians 4:4–5 to carefully explain what God has done in the sending of His Son and why it matters for us and for the world. Using the image of a simple Christmas card, the message highlights how these short verses clearly summarize the biblical meaning of Christmas: at the fullness of time, God sent His Son, born of woman and born under the law.The sermon walks through how Jesus' true humanity and perfect obedience were necessary for our salvation. Born under the law, Christ fulfilled what we could not, lived without sin, and gave Himself as our substitute to redeem those under the law. Through His work, all who repent and believe are forgiven and adopted into God's family as sons and daughters.This message reminds us that Christmas points beyond the manger to Christ's saving work and calls believers to both trust this good news and share it faithfully with others.

God didn't just tell us He loves us. He showed us.   ---    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?

The incarnation, and Paul's description of it, should bring a joy that is both deeper and more lasting than all the tinsel and glitter and celebrations around us.

We have been following the reasoning of the apostle Paul as he begs the Galatian brethren to see the error of their ways and come back to Jesus. In chapter 4, we will see him continue that plea and we will see how much he loves them and how much they love him. There is a lot of godly love in this chapter.

Apostle Jim Raley delivers an inspiring sermon titled 'Your Promise Has a Due Date.' Drawing from biblical passages like Luke 1 and Galatians 4, Raley emphasizes faith, divine timing, and God's unwavering promises. He encourages listeners to trust in God's timing and to hold on to their faith, as their promises from God have a due date. The sermon is filled with encouragement, hope, and a call to trust in divine intervention during challenging seasons.

Paul shows us that Advent's long waiting ends not in new rules, but in God sending His Son to turn slaves into sons. With Pastor Kaleb.

“But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.” (Galatians 4:4–5 NLT) When we think of Christmas, we think of the arrival of Jesus: “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 NLT). In reality, it was also a departure. For us, a Child was born. But for God the Father, a Son was given. Twice in Galatians 4:4–5, God talks about sending Jesus to us (NLT). In Heaven, the time had come for the departure of God’s Son. We even have a record in Hebrews 10 of Jesus’ farewell words to the Father. He said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin. Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—as is written about me in the Scriptures’” (Hebrews 10:5–7 NLT). It’s impossible for us to comprehend the sacrifice, the break in intimacy, involved in God’s sending of His Son. We see that intimacy between Father and Son throughout Jesus’ public ministry. Luke 6:12 says, “One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God” (NIV). Jesus prioritized His relationship with His Father above all else. We see that intimacy in Matthew 26:39. As the time of His sacrifice approached, Jesus prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” (NIV). Jesus knew what was coming. And in Mark 15:34, we see the unimaginable agony of Jesus’ sacrifice as He cried out in a loud voice, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (NIV). God placed the sins of the world on His Son. And in that moment, Jesus was banished from His Father’s presence because sin cannot coexist with God. Jesus suffered the separation from God that we deserve. Jesus also made an unimaginable sacrifice at His birth. He went from the throne of Heaven to a feeding trough. He went from the presence of angels to a stable of animals. He who was larger than the universe became an embryo. The apostle Paul summed it up well: “You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT). No one who has ever lived has even remotely affected human history the way Jesus Christ has. He has been opposed, censored, banned, and criticized by every generation since His birth. Yet His influence continues unabated. There has never been anyone like Jesus because Jesus was not just a good man. He was the God-Man who came and walked this earth because of the sacrifice of His Father. And that’s what we celebrate at Christmas.

Series: Unexpected Christmas

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.

Paul's letter to the church in Galatia. Chapter 4. New International Version

This week Pastor Jesse speaks on how we can't just choose to believe in a version of God, we need to believe in All of God.   Main Scripture & Sermon Points: Galatians 4:12-20 John 15:18 Mark 10:29-30 POINT: Grace is free to receive, but expensive to give POINT: I don't engage hostile strangers unless God prompts me. But the people I do have relationships with, I stay engaged unless God releases me POINT: Are you gonna be a "Some of God" Christian, or an "All of God" Christian? POINT: When someone fails, we don't remove the standard...We point to the Grace POINT: Jesus Loves You   *This episode was recorded on 12/07/25

"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.
