Here's Tim Bubar's sermon in 10 Tweets: Galatians 3:26-4:7 1// "Stop being a child!"

2// In Christ, you are a son of God. Know it and feel it.

3// By faith you are in Christ. In Christ you are Abraham's offspring. As Abraham's offspring you are an heir according to promise (not the law).

4// Your name can be on the title of the car, but you don't really own it if you don't get to really drive it.

5// You're not a slave, you're a son.

6// "Adoption as sons" = Sonship (not Sunchips!). It's a legal term. It's a change of status. The judge hasn't just set you free, he's adopted you and made you his heir.

7// We can feel our identity as God's sons through the Holy Spirit.

8// "God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!'" - Galatians 4:6

9// "If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child and having God as his Father." - J.I. Packer

10// We can approach the Father same way Jesus did. We have his status as true sons because of the cross.

Here's the weekend sermon in 10 tweets: "Promise or Performance?" (Galatians 3:15-25)

1// The Mosaic Law as an identity marker, a performance standard and path to maturity is no more.

2// The Mosaic Law didn't replace righteousness by faith.

3// Why was the covenant with Abraham a promise? Because he promised to bless his family and the world in spite of their failure to keep their end.

4// The promise was unconditional...like giving away a car. The law was conditional...like giving away a car but with conditions attached.

5// The law was a temporary measure from Moses to the cross.

6// The law was powerless. Gave no power to keep it. Like giving a hearing test instead of hearing aids to someone who can't hear well.

7// "The treadmill didn't work."

8// Take the keys.

9// Don't give back the keys.

10// Salvation is past, present and future. You'll need the gospel of God's grace at every stage.
