Salvation deserves a new song sung by all of God’s creation.

Helpless doesn’t mean Hopeless.

Your Refuge can become your Prison.

Psalm 144:1a There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me;it’s in God alone and I love him!  (TPT)

 “For I, too had a hiding place when things were bad.  Jesus was this place…” ~Corrie ten Boom“Perhaps only when human effort has done its best and failed, can God’s power alone be free to work.”  ~Corrie ten Boom

When your refuge becomes your prison, remember your God!

Psalm 9:9 All who are oppressed may come to you as ashelter in the time of trouble, a perfect hiding place.10 May everyone who knows your mercykeep putting their trust in you,for they can count on you for help no matter what.O Lord, you will never, no never, neglect thosewho come to you. (TPT)

Galatians 6

The Big Idea:  We are to bear one another’s scars, not take credit for their healing

Bear the burdens of our brothersBear the responsibility of goodBear the marks of Christ

“The grace of Christ be with us all.”  Because the works of the law won’t save us.

Stand…

Firm in truth (v. 1-12)

Firm in love (v. 13-15)

Firm in the Spirit (v. 16-26)

Our behavior reflects whether we have chosen to live by the guide inside or the noise of the outside voice.

“The principles of the world are weak and worthless.” (v. 8-11)Trust the one who makes much of Jesus. (v. 12-20)Slaves of our past or heirs of a future promise? (21-31)

Let the life in your rearview mirror stay farther away than it appears.

The Father made a covenant with a son.The children needed a guardian to know the Father.The covenant was satisfied through another Son.The Father has given us the opportunity to become heirs.

Dads let’s take a lesson from The Father:

Pass the sandal.Place healthy boundaries around your kids.Point your kids to the Redeemer.
