Session 12: Bearing One Another's Burden and Boasting in the Cross
Preparation Resources
1) Galatians 6:1-18
2) Paul for Everyone: pages 54 - end
3) Tim Keller sermons
Discussion Topics
1) 6:1 and 6:2 contain two directives for living in community. Do we do better at 6:1 or 6:2? Which is harder?
2) Are verses 6:2 and 6:5 contradictory?
3) Do we have a responsibility for the salvation of other Christians?
4) What is this principle in vv.7-8? How would you put the principle into your own words? How can we observe it practically?
5) What does vv. 12-13 reveal about the motives of Paul’s opponents? How does Paul use this to contrast the true gospel from “religion?”
6) Would you agree that vv.14-15 summarize everything Paul has been saying in the letter? Why or why not?
