FREE — Week 5 | Abba | Pastor Daniel Kolson
What if you’ve been living like a servant in a house where God has already made you a son or daughter?
In Week 5 of our series FREE, Pastor Daniel Kolson continues through Galatians with a message titled “Abba.” In Galatians 4:1–11, Paul reveals one of the most beautiful truths of the gospel: through Jesus Christ, we are no longer slaves—we have been adopted into God’s family.
Jesus didn’t simply rescue us from the law. He brought us into a relationship with the Father. And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Yet many believers continue living with a slave mentality—striving for approval, measuring their spiritual performance, and carrying burdens they were never meant to carry. We can know we belong to God while still living as though our place in His family depends on how well we perform.
The gospel doesn’t invite us to work our way into sonship. It invites us to live from the sonship we’ve already received.
In this message, we explore what it means to know God as Father, surrender our independence, and exchange religious striving for the freedom of belonging to Him. For those who have experienced pain or rejection from an earthly father, this message also reveals the heart of the perfect Father Jesus came to make known.
You are not earning your place in the Father’s house. You already belong. Now live like it.
