Gal 6 reminds us that the best people can slip up. Paul redirects us so that, if people do slip, our duty is to get them on their feet again. We are called to share burdens.

Notes

Transcript

Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted. Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Let each person examine his own work, and then he can take pride in himself alone, and not compare himself with someone else. For each person will have to carry his own load. Let the one who is taught the word share all his good things with the teacher. Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

Point 1

Not If, but when

Galatians 6:1 (CSB): Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit,, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.

Does not mean a deliberate sin; but a slip that might come to someone on an icy road or a dangerous path

The problem this book has been addressing is Jewdaizers misleading the church folk in Galatia by spining them back to the Law.

Its bad teaching theology, ideas, human wisdom that exploits people who are trying to follow God.

*(if someone is overtaken) isn’t suggesting some people will never fall short. flat tire, dead car battery

Overtaken / caught,

Illistratiion Fishing hook.... Mouth or tail

You are living, working, playing, spousing, singling dead scrolling, streaming, performing, on a battle field, or a fish tank

I wasn't there when fishing hooks were perfected, but i think I know how it went down:

test 100 I cant just just aimlessly scoop them. And if I can see the fish he can see me.

test 115 If i can create some type of hook to latch in there mouth...

test 200 Fish in their right mind don’t bite open hooks

test 333 I figured out how to disguise the hook

test 400 Designed to make you think you just lucked up on a blessing

2. Doing Good doesn't always feel Good

Carry one another’s burdens;

Galatians 6:2 (CSB)

2 Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Have you ever had someone take weight off of you??

Have you ever had someone put weight on you?

Everyone has there own weight

5 For each person will have to carry his own load.

Galatians 6:9 (CSB)

9Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

(you who are spiritual)

(The Worker ) Those who are spiritual need to put in some work.

Restore

With a gentle spirit (Gentle / Humility) Spirit of Gentleness

Matt 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Galatians 6:3 (CSB)

3For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

3. Especially in the body

Galatians 6:10 (CSB)

10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

1 Timothy 5:8 (ESV)

8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timothy 3:4 (CSB)

4 He must manage his own household competently and have his children under control with all dignity.

Do you share the burdens of others?

Ox trained 5,000. An Un trained ox 2,000

Together 10,000 over time trained 15,000

The obvious answer would seem to be 16,000 pounds or twice the weight one can drag behind him. But two of these horses can move up to 24,000 pounds—three times the weight one can tow. This alone illustrates the value of teamwork, but more impressive is the fact that when two draft horses are trained together and labor alongside each other, their pulling capacity increases to 32,000 pounds—four times the weight either could have moved alone!
