Galatians 4: Who's Your Momma? 6.21.26

This sermon explores the concept of grace through Paul's letter to the Galatians, emphasizing that salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned. Using the allegory of Abraham's two sons—Ishmael (born through human effort) and Isaac (born through God's promise)—the pastor illustrates humanity's tendency to add requirements to God's grace rather than simply receiving it. The central message is that Christians must choose between two ways of living: the "worldly way" of earning approval and proving worth (represented by Hagar and the slave woman), or the way of grace and promise (represented by Sarah and freedom). The sermon challenges listeners to stop comparing themselves to others, stop trying to manufacture their own righteousness, and instead embrace the lavish love and forgiveness already offered through Christ's sacrifice. Grace is not something we chase—it has already found us.
