Freedom Fighting

Please read Galatians 4:21-5:1.


What did it mean for the Galatians to have either Sarah or Hagar as their mother? What would be the implications of either of those?

Eric said that for those with Sarah as mother were free and could rest in the promise of God’s work. What about those with Hagar as mother?

Paul quotes Isaiah in this week’s passage. Who is the “barren woman” he addresses? How is the prophecy being fulfilled among the Galatians?

Like practicing a musical instrument over and over, for hours and hours so we can play by feel or intuition, where do we as Christians go, what do we do, to “preach the gospel to ourselves”?

Who were trying to strip the Galatians of their freedom and how? How might your freedom in Christ be threatened today?

Eric suggested we could discover those hidden things that our hearts would try to add to Christ by filling in the following blank: “The only good Christian is a ______________ Christian.” For example, the Judaizers would have put “circumcised” in the blank. What are you tempted to say, or have said in the past?
