Lesson

**Personal Appeal and Allegorical Summary (Galatians 4:12-31)**

- Opening Thoughts

    - Paul’s “comparative defense of the gospel” up to this point:

        - Law or Faith?

        - Law or Promise?

        - Slaves or Sons?

    - We’re adding the two final sections.

- Galatians 4:12-20 – Paul’s personal appeal (*Them or Me?*)

    - Have you forgotten our history?

    - Who really wants the best for you?

- Galatians 4:21-31 – Paul’s allegorical summary (*Slave or Free?*)

    - Not (quite) as odd as it seems...

    - The point is how the story ends...

**Discussion Questions:**

1. In trying to persuade people what is true, when do you think it is appropriate to make personal appeals?
2. Who are some of the people who made sacrifices so you could hear the gospel? Have you thanked them recently?
3. How can you discern when spiritual leaders are seeking your good as opposed to their own?
4. How did the video teaching help you understand Paul’s “allegory” in 4:21-31? What do you still not understand about it?
