Week 5 || Gospel Family

Date: 5.13.18 (Mother’s Day)

Text: Galatians 4:1-7

In Galatians 4:1-7, Paul declares that those who have faith in Christ are children of God, heirs of all God’s promises.

1) What is one thing you took away from this past Sunday’s sermon? What’s one question you have?

2) Read Galatians 4:4-5. Paul says that humans enter God’s family through adoption. How does Paul’s adoption language help us understand God’s love for us?

3) Think about a time you’ve found yourself in a relationship where love or approval was conditional. Now think about a relationship where love and approval was freely given. How would you describe the differences between these two kinds of relationships?

4) Can you think of moments throughout the week when you’ve felt that God was disappointed in you? How did that feeling impact the way you interacted with others? Your coworkers? Friends? Family members?

5) How does knowing that you are a beloved son or daughter of God affect the way you view yourself? The way you treat those around you?

“...the very purpose of his self-giving on the cross was not just to save isolated individuals, and so perpetuate their loneliness, but to create a new community whose members belong to him, love one another and eagerly serve the world.” - John Stott, The Cross of Christ

1) We Belong To Christ

2) We Belong To Each Other
