In Week 10 of In Christ Alone, we walk through Paul’s striking allegory of Hagar and Sarah to reveal the heart of the gospel: you are not a child of slavery, you are a child of promise. Drawing from Genesis and Galatians, this message exposes the futility of performance-based religion and highlights the beauty of Spirit-led adoption.
Those who are in Christ are not defined by their own effort, but by God’s power. Just like Isaac, we are born of the Spirit. Not of striving, but of surrender. And when performance and legalism try to creep in, Paul’s bold call still applies: cast out the slave mindset—live as sons and daughters of freedom.
