Scripture

Galatians 6:1-5

Grow up in Christ so you can show up for others.

The Burden of Restoration (6:1)

When someone falls, don’t give up; gently help them stand back up.
Stay alert when others fall; what caught them could catch you too.

The Burden of Participation (6:2)

Some struggles require more than solo strength.
Christ bore our burden, now we bear one another’s.

The Burden of Evaluation (6:3-4)

Pride inflates maturity and hides reality.
Looking sideways can keep you from looking inward.

The Burden of Obligation (6:5)

Seek support, but shoulder responsibility.
The healthier you are, the more helpful you’ll be.

‍

Would others say you offload your burdens while overlooking theirs?
