WHO’S YOUR MAMA?

 (The everyday, Extraordinary Gospel- Part 10)

March 6, 2022

The Passage: Galatians 4:21-31

“God helps those who help themselves”?

An allegory from the Old Testament: Hagar or Sarah (Genesis 16, 21)

An illustration from the New Testament: The Prodigal Son (Luke 15)

To move from self-reliance to God-dependence, I see…

… when I “help” God, all I do is hurt everyone

… God’s approval frees me from the need for others’ approval

… serving God as a joy vs. serving God as a job
