We are wrapping up our Galatians series this Sunday!
After five chapters of fighting for the gospel, Paul gets practical: carry each other, give generously, and don't grow weary in doing good, even when the harvest is slow, even delayed to the resurrection. Come tired, come weary, come hungry. Let Christ give you peace and rest.
For reflection & discussion:
Think of something you planted, started, or invested in where you had to wait a long time before anything came of it. A garden, a skill, a friendship. What kept you going, or what made you quit?
Who has carried a burden for you that was too heavy to carry alone? Have you ever told them what it meant?
Verse 9 says "let us not grow weary in doing good." Where are you most weary right now? What is that weariness tempting you to give up on?
Is there a discipline you practice to give yourself “rest for your soul” in Jesus? Share with the group.
Paul boasts only in the cross (v14), a path that costs him real suffering. What do you gravitate towards boasting in, other than the cross and suffering? Where is following Jesus actually costing you something right now?
Picture someone in your own lineage of faith who didn't grow weary of you. What did their love look like? Is there someone you're being asked to do that for now?
What is one specific ‘seed to sow’ this week for you? Think of the 3 layers: friendship/interdependence for another, giving resources or money to the marginalized, and crucifixion / suffering in love.
