What a joy it was to worship together and to hear, study, and respond to God’s Word! All that we do is made possible because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Today we studied Galatians 6:6-10, where Paul uses the illustration of sowing and reaping to encourage believers to be sowing to the Spirit and doing good to others.  You can listen to or download the message here.  I trust you will exercise your freedom to do good today and this week! Feel free to use the following questions to discuss and apply the message with family and friends as well as in care group.

1.    How has the principle of “you reap what you sow” been revealed in your own life? Can you think of specific examples (both good and bad) where you reaped the result of your sowing?

2.    What are some specific ways in which you desire to replace sowing to the flesh with sowing to the Spirit? Take time to pray for one another and ask for God’s grace to empower you to do so.

3.    How does knowing that God loves you and is in control help you to fight weariness and to not give up? Is there anything that is causing weariness now that you would like prayer for?

4.    How do we balance God’s call to do good to everyone with the natural restraints and limitations of our lives? How can we stay truly free to do good without adding the burden of trying to prove ourselves to God?

5.    What is an act of doing good to others that you sense the Lord leading you to do?

I am thankful that the Lord is with us, within us, surrounds us, is behind us and ahead of us so that we may do good and walk I His ways, and then reap His rewards in due season, if we do not give up. Let us press forward in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, expecting great things for our church in the days to come!

God Bless,
