Are You The Bond Or Free Woman

Are You The Bond Or Free Woman

English
John Spellman preaches at the Outreach SDA Church in St. Albans. The focus of this message is on Galatians 4:28-31. Paul uses the story of Hagar and Sarah (the bond and free woman) as an allegory for the Old Covenant and New Covenant church. But how might this feud between the two women illustrate what goes on in our Christian experience today? How can we learn from this story? Both women had children (Ishmael & Isaac) by the patriarch Abraham, and both had expectancy toward the inheritance. However, only the child of the free woman would be the heir. What does that mean for us today?

Finding Real Treasure
So, let’s do an unusual treasure hunt for a change. We will be hunting for souls. The experience is beyond comparison and will ‘blow your mind’. It promises satisfaction you’ve never known. The entire family can participate. How many stars will you place in your crown today? Your own soul should be your first star! Do what you can, and better your best effort. Let’s reach these true treasures for Christ.
Transformed Attitudes
Have you been ostracized, been treated unfairly, ridiculed, or suffered discrimination because of your belief in God and the teachings of the Bible? Don’t fight back. See the devil as the instigator at work through them. Find other ways to defend yourself, if you need to, but do pray for them. Genuinely ask God to change and save your persecutor(s). Whatever you do, whatever circumstances you’re faced with, let self be quiet and let God work through you to bless others.
You Are My Brother
Our sinful desires to tear down and put down each other, speak evil of one another, gossip and engage in tale-bearing: are all symptoms which show that we do not regard each other as brothers. No one would willfully and intentionally kill their father’s child. So, why do it to God’s child? Gossiping and tale-bearing destroys unity and genuineness of friendships. Resentment and hatred should not be harbored in hearts that are preparing for Heaven. We are brothers and sisters.
