Why does religion always feel like a list of things you have to do?
About this episode
This sermon discusses God's covenant with Abraham and the role of the law of Moses as a temporary guardian until Christ's arrival.
Adopted, 2 of 3 from May 17, 2026 “God’s plan includes temporary safeguards while He prepares permanent solutions.” Galatians 3:15-29 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks) SUMMARY This sermon teaches that God’s covenant with Abraham was always meant to be fulfilled in Jesus, and that the law of Moses was only a temporary guardian to highlight human sin until Christ arrived. It emphasizes that anyone, regardless of background or past, can be adopted into God’s family and justified before Him solely by trusting in Jesus rather than by religious rule‑keeping or personal goodness. REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 💬 How do we usually try to get approval from God? 💬 What temporary problems do we treat like permanent problems? 💬 What reasons do we give why Jesus shouldn’t accept us?
