Galatians 6:1-5: The Ministry of Restoration

Listen Later

Bill Teubl focuses on Galatians 6:1-5, emphasizing the word “restore” and its significance in helping believers who stumble. He explores how restoration involves gentle correction, mutual burden-bearing, and alignment with God’s grace, while contrasting the apparent contradiction between bearing others’ burdens and carrying one’s own load. The sermon highlights practical ways to restore others through praise, instruction, and aiming for reconciliation, rooted in God’s nature as a restorer.
