 We are going to come back to the cross at the end of the sermon but let me ask you this question - what are you boasting in? 

 Israel is on the verge of victory after 40 years of wandering in the desert. But they must act in order to activate God’s promises. 

 This morning, we come to the last lines of the book/letter of Galatians. We started this journey in March and I’ve preached over twenty sermons in this series. 

 This is the final message in a series of sermons on Job entitled, "When Life Takes a Turn for the Worse." 

 It is true - we do reap what we sow, whether it be in training for a marathon, planting corn or beans, strengthening our marriages, disciplining our children, taking thoughts captive, or simply being kind to people. 

 What is the Devil up to when life takes a turn for the worse?
I believe the answer is found in one of the most fascinating passages in the Old Testament: Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-7. 

 This fruit is the product of the Spirit’s work inside of us and not an outcome of trying, straining, groaning, or behavior modification on our part.

 This is the first sermon in a series entitled, "When Life Takes a Turn for the Worse" 

 Over the next three weeks, we are going to take a look at some fruit that Christians produce as we submit ourselves to the control of the Holy Spirit. 

For 11 weeks now we’ve been looking at the future. And we have learned a ton together. Jesus told us He will return soon, and He’s told us so much about what that will be like. 

 After spending all this time in the book of Galatians, I just wonder if we are missing the point. Wouldn’t it be amazing to go to the mall and interview people and ask, “What does Christianity mean to you?” And get the answer: “One word…freedom 

For 11 weeks now we’ve been looking at the future. And we have learned a ton together. Jesus told us He will return soon, and He’s told us so much about what that will be like.

 Paul is going to focus on the false teacher’s influence and their desire to cut in on the Galatians spiritual progress in the verses we will study this morning. 

 Last week we looked at what the Bible has to say about some of the worst days for the people of planet Earth.  But after those days are through, come the return of our King, and a 1,000 year period of His reign on the earth. Those are going to be really good days. 

 Freedom is worth dying for. Freedom is worth fighting for. And in these next verses of Galatians, the Apostle Paul is going to make the case that freedom is worth living for. 

 God’s word says that the best of your best days are in your future. They’re recorded in the last chapters of the book of Revelation, and that’s what I want to walk you through tonight. 

 As we celebrate Independence Day, July 4, let us remember why this nation was conceived and to whom we owe all praise and honor.  Let us strive to return America to the principles that have made us the greatest Christian nation in the world! 

 The Bible says that one day soon, we will go through a seven year period called “The Tribulation,” or the time of distress, just before the return of Christ.
