Galatians 4:12–31 — Trusting God

Where are you tempted to trust yourself instead of waiting on God? Paul’s heart for the Galatians overflows as he calls them to reject self-reliance and cling to the promises of Christ.

Originally preached to Ekklesia Churches by Dan on March 30, 2025.

This message from Galatians 4:12–31 draws a striking contrast between trusting human effort and trusting God’s sovereign timing and promises, using the powerful example of Sarah, Hagar, and the life of Abraham.

Teaching Highlights:

• Discipleship is built on loving investment and relational trust.

• Trusting God’s promise means resisting the temptation to fast-track His timing.

• Our salvation is by grace through faith — not by effort, tradition, or law.

• In Christ, we are children of promise and freedom, not slavery.

The good news is that God is always faithful to His promises, even when we stumble — our hope rests securely in Him.
