UBC Book of the Month—March
Are you interested in reading solid, biblical, transformative books, but don’t know where to begin? Each month
we will feature a book that meets these criteria. March’s book is Uprooting Anger by Robert D. Jones. Written
for those who recognize that anger is a too-frequent issue in their lives and a too-prevalent problem in family,
work, and church relationships, Jones provides practical, Christ-centered help in uprooting anger. Copies will be
available in the lobby for a suggested donation of $12. You can find out more information about the book or
order a copy directly from Amazon by clicking here.

Galatians 4:21-31
1. Have you ever heard of an “allegorical” method for interpreting the
March 20th, 2022
Bible? What are the weaknesses of that approach? Does Paul’s
example in Galatians 4:21-31 justify approaching all of scripture
1. ______________________: Two sons of Abraham (4:21-23) allegorically? Why/why not?
2. Read Genesis 15:1-5; 16:1-6 for the story of Abraham, Sarah, and
Hagar.
a. Why did Sarah offer Hagar to Abraham?
b. What relational dynamics did this polygamy cause between
Abraham and Sarah and between Hagar and Sarah?
c. What, if any, blame is placed on Hagar? Does she do
anything wrong?
3. How do Hebrews 12:22-24 and Revelation 21:2 describe Jerusalem?
How is that similar to the “Jerusalem above” in Gal. 4:26?
2. ______________________: Two sons represent two approaches to
4. If your Bible has cross-references, look up the source of the quotes
God (4:24-27)
for Gal. 4:27 and 4:30. Read the context around each verse. How do
they seem to support the point of the allegory?
5. In what way are Christians “children of promise?” (4:28, 31)
6. The implication of this allegory is that those who seek to achieve
God’s promised blessing through human achievement (as was the
case with the birth of Ishmael) will find slavery, whereas freedom is
found as God fulfills His promises in ways human effort could never
achieve (as was the case with the birth of Isaac). How does Paul in
Galatians 4:28–5:1 apply this illustration to the situation in the
Galatian churches? How does he call them to respond?
3. ______________________: We are children of promise (4:28-31)
Note: Some questions are adapted from “Knowing the Bible” by CrosswaySunday, March 20, 2022 Were You to count my sinful ways,
How could I come before Your throne?
God Omniscient, God All-Knowing Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze;
God omniscient, God all-knowing I stand redeemed by grace alone.
In His wisdom does ordain (Chorus)
Every working of creation I will wait for You, I will wait for You;
To the glory of His name. On Your word I will rely.
Who His thoughts can dare to fathom, I will wait for You, surely wait for You,
Who His judgments can contain? Till my soul is satisfied.
None His equal, unassailable, So put Your hope in God alone;
He our God who ever reigns. Take courage in His power to save.
God all keeping, omnipresent, Completely and forever won
In the passing days of man. By Christ emerging from the grave.
First to last, not one forgotten (Chorus)
By His strong and steering hand.
Now He has come to make a way,
He the Sovereign Lord now praise we, And God Himself has paid the price,
He the fount of Providence. That all who trust in Him today
On His word we rest unwavering, Find healing in His sacrifice.
Yes, His perfect word shall stand.
(Chorus)
God omnipotent and mighty,
I will wait for You, I will wait for You,
Inexhaustible His strength.
Through the storm and through the night.
Governments and fleeting powers,
I will wait for You, surely wait for You,
Melt before His majesty.
For Your love is my delight.
How unsearchable His greatness,
How inscrutable His ways. Jesus, Your Mercy
Sing His greatness and preeminence
Jesus, Your mercy is all my plea.
Over all created things.
I have no defense, my guilt runs too deep.
God unchanging, ever-faithful, The best of my works pierced Your hands and Your feet.
To His covenant of grace. Jesus, Your mercy is all my plea.
We His people Christ did ransom,
Jesus, Your mercy is all my boast,
To the glory of His name.
The goodness I claim, the grounds of my hope.
Now ascribe unending worship, Whatever I lack it’s still what I need most.
Now ascribe immortal praise, Jesus, Your mercy is all my boast.
To the God whose kingdom cometh,
(Chorus)
Blessed be His matchless name.
Praise the King who bore my sin,
Now ascribe unending worship, Took my place when I stood condemned.
Now ascribe immortal praise, Oh, how good You’ve always been to me.
To the God whose kingdom cometh, I will sing of Your mercy.
Blessed be His matchless name,
Jesus, Your mercy is all my rest,
Blessed be His matchless name.
When fears weigh me down and enemies press.
A comfort I cling to in life and in death.
I Will Wait for You
Jesus, Your mercy is all my rest.
Out of the depths I cry to You,
(Chorus)
In darkest places I will call;
Incline Your ear to me anew, Jesus, Your mercy is all my joy.
And hear my cry for mercy, Lord. Forever I’ll lift my heart and my voice,
To sing of a treasure no pow’r can destroy.
CCLC# 146712Jesus, Your mercy is all my joy.
Praise the King who bore my sin,
Took my place when I stood condemned.
Oh, how good You’ve always been to me.
I will sing…
(Chorus)
I Will Glory in My Redeemer
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me.
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails
And hung Him on that judgment tree.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who crushed the pow’r of sin and death;
My only Savior before the Holy Judge,
The Lamb who is my righteousness,
The Lamb who is my righteousness.
I will glory in my Redeemer;
My life He bought, my love He owns.
I have no longings for another;
I’m satisfied in Him alone.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
His faithfulness, my standing place.
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me,
My feet are firm, held by His grace,
My feet are firm, held by His grace.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who carries me on eagle’s wings.
He crowns my life with lovingkindness;
His triumph song I’ll ever sing.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who waits for me at gates of gold.
And when He calls me, it will be paradise,
His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.
