Galatians 4:21-31
Things are about to get
Cerebral
Galatians 4:21+ A Tale of Two Covenants…
First…The Backstory…
People, Places, Things.. • Abraham
• Hagar
• Barren Woman
• Ishmael
• Isaac
• Mt Sinai
• Jerusalem
• Jerusalem

21 I would like to ask those who
want to put themselves under the
law again, “Do you fully realize
what you are getting into?”
1. You Can Decide
22 It is written in the Bible that Abraham had
two sons. One was by the servant woman and
the other one by the free woman. 23 The one
born to the servant woman was born in the
natural way but the one born to the free
woman was born by a miracle as the result of a
promise from God. 24 This gives us a picture of
the two covenants.
27 And it is written in the Bible, “Let the
barren woman who is unable to bear children
naturally rejoice. Let those women who have
not been in labour cry out with joy. There will
be more children for the woman who has not
been able to bear naturally than for the one
with a husband.”
28 Brothers and sisters, we are
like Isaac. We are like the
children born by a miracle as
the result of a promise.
2. Pick A Mountain
29 Another similarity here is that the
son born by natural means persecuted
the son born by the power of the
Spirit. This is what is happening to us
here and now.
3. Steel Yourself
30 Take notice of what the Scripture
says about this also: “Cast out the
servant woman and her son because
the servant woman’s son will not be
an heir along with the son of the free
woman.”
4. Evict It
31 Brothers and sisters, we are not
the children of the servant woman,
but children of the free woman.
