Discipleship: Faith Lived Out

Building Up Disciples in Community

Scripture: Galatians 6:1-10 (NIV)

Speaker: Pastor Stephen Hsu

BIG IDEA: To bear one another’s burdens, we must live by the Spirit to love one another.

BEARING EACH OTHER’S BURDENS:

Why?

How?

HOW TO BEAR EACH OTHER’S BURDENS:

1. LIVE BY THE SPIRIT (1)

[1] Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. [2] Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

—Galatians 6:1-2

2. DON’T THINK YOU’RE THAT IMPORTANT! (3)

[3] If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. [4] Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, [5] for each one should carry their own load. [6] Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the

word should share all good things with their instructor.

—Galatians 6:3-6

3. REMEMBER YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW (7)

[7] Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. [8] Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. [9] Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. [10] Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

—Galatians 6:7-10

Conclusion:

Especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

—Galatians 6:10b
