Adopted, 3 of 3 from May 24, 2026 “Trusting Jesus makes us truly God’s kids but earning approval is slavery.” Galatians 4:1-14 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARY This sermon teaches that believers are fully adopted into God’s family solely through trusting Jesus. Pastor Michael emphasizes that the indwelling Holy Spirit is our “certificate of adoption,” growing supernatural love in us, freeing us from slavery to performance and people-pleasing, and inviting us not only to serve others but also to humbly receive love and care from them. REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 💬 What supernatural affection is the Holy Spirit growing in us? 💬 What basic approval are we slaves to? 💬 Who are we resistant to receiving love from?
