Jailbreak: The Unspoken Code

Galatians 6:1-18

Icebreaker:

As a kid, were you ever caught "red-handed" doing something wrong? Have you ever caught somebody red-handed? What did you say or do?


Scripture Discussion:

1 - Out of the 4 ways Paul calls us to love, which one seems to be the hardest in your life?
• when someone fails
• with generosity
• in timing
• in bragging and suffering

2 - Have you ever attempted to restore someone that broke your trust or did something wrong to you? How did it go?

3 - Do you think Galatians 6:1-6 applies to non-Christians? Why or why not?

4 - Read Galatians 6:2-5. How can we determine what burden should be carried by a person, and what burden may appropriately require assistance in?

5 - How important is it for us to be patient and gentle in restoring someone? (Gal 6:1-2) Does that really matter, or is it just about the final result?

6 - What kind of crop are you expecting or sowing and reaping conflict with grace?

7 - In your opinion does the law of sowing and reaping conflict with grace? (Gal 6:7-9, Pro 3:12)

8 - What steps could you take to sow to the Spirit more?

9 - In what ways do you find worldly matters still pressuring you?

10 - When and why were you last weary of "doing good?" How can you become more established so your passion for spiritual matters remains high?

11 - Read Gal 6:10. Why do you think Paul said we should do good especially to those who belong to the family of believers? How can the church do that without becoming exclusive?

12 - Give some examples of how your rGroup has helped each other carry burdens. Take time to thank people personally for specific ways they have helped.


Closing Challenge:

Is there someone that comes to mind that this passage is prompting you to restore?


Pray:

Pray for each member of the group, that we would be more cooperative in the heart-shaping changes Jesus wants to make in us.

Ask the Spirit of Jesus to guide you in truth and to change you as needed.

Read Through Galatians
During this 8-week study of the book of Galatians, we are challenging ourselves to read along in Galatians during the week as we go. Turns out there are 6 chapters in Galatians, so we'd love for you to join us by reading one chapter of Galatians each day Monday–Friday each week during the 8-week study.

If you do, then at the end you'll have read through the book 8 times, heard 8 sermons on it, and had 8 opportunities to discuss it in rGroups if your rGroup follows our sermon series. We hope you'll lean into this challenge and encourage your group to do so as well and that God will speak to you powerfully along the way!
