Galatians 4

By Mark Jordan | February 5, 2023

Here are this week’s message notes and reflection questions for our message on adoption from Galatians 4.

Psalm 82:3 (NIV) | Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

We are called to adoption!

Galatians 4:6-7 (CEB) | Because you are sons and daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” Therefore, you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter, and if you are his child, then you are also an heir through God.
