This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. Today Pastor Joey takes us into Galatians 4 and the idea of God as our Father and the perfection of our earthly Father and how that changes our lives and our view our life completely. The ultimate question from today to unpack is am I seen as a Son or a Slave, and do I see God as my Father or my Master?

Galatians 4:3-5

3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

God’s pleasure with us isn’t based religion towards Him but relationship with Him. Jesus at the end of his life..Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Seeing God as your father isn’t A way to see God its THE way to see God. Galatians 4:6-7: 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God."

The gift of adoption is we can cry out and our father comes, he runs, he shows up…he listens when we talk. Religion is :"I messed up. Dad's gonna kill me.” The Gospel is: "I messed up. I need to call Dad." Galatians 4:8-9

8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

Don’t settle for life as a slave when God’s offer is for you to be his son. This world is one giant orphanage and God sent his son Jesus to stand at the door and knock to extend an invitation for you to be in his family…

But no family is created without blood. That’s why Jesus died.
