RCC 12/19/2010 Dave Champness Gal 4:4-7

Galatians 4
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law
5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Two Kinds of Trials (RCC - Dave Champness)

2/7/10
James 1:9-12

Trials are inevitable
You can stand up under them

Trust in God
Seek his wisdom
Share the load (brother)

Trial of Poverty
let the poor know they are rich

Trial of riches
let the rich know they are poor
"never seen a U-haul following a hearst"
store up treasures in heaven
(world of opposites)

The Payoff
- crown of life
- life that is full and forever

Where is your hope? Does your calendar and checkbook reflect that?
