Summary
Galatians 4:28-31 - 28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever time of day it is. |
| 0:07.0 | Thank you for joining me for the morning mindset. |
| 0:09.7 | It's time for us to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:13.0 | I want to ask you to recall a situation in your life where you are hanging out with people |
| 0:19.0 | who are from a different culture or a different environment than you were accustomed to. Can you bring that situation to mind? |
| 0:27.7 | I remember my oldest son and I went on a mission trip to Paraguay and being there in some ways was very uncomfortable because the people |
| 0:36.8 | who lived there, wonderful people, wonderful believers in Christ, live in a different way than we do. |
| 0:44.2 | We felt kind of out of our element. |
| 0:47.3 | And the passage that we are reading in Galatians chapter 4 |

| 0:56.2 | element because Paul is addressing Old Testament concepts and Old Testament stories that I'm not as familiar with as the readers that he's |

| 1:43.0 | Now let's stop for a moment. |
| 1:45.0 | Isaac was the son God had promised that Abraham and his wife Sarah had and he was |
| 1:51.5 | Sarah's child. He was born of Sarah's body, even though she was barren and was supposedly unable to have children, |
| 1:58.8 | God did a miracle. |
| 2:00.8 | But they had already made up the scheme of their own to have a child to fulfill God's |
