Sep 11, 2022Freedom In Christ “Grace for the Barren”By: Clint McBroomSeries: Freedom In ChristGalatians 4:21-31In showing that the heart of the gospel is trusting in God's work for us in Jesus Christ, rather than relying on our own capabilities, Paul uses the Old Testament story of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate the call to rely on God's power and grace.
