Listen Later

Have you blown it big time? Have you committed a sin that you think has put you on the sideline forever? According to Jesus, you have hope. Chip shares that no matter how far you have fallen, you can reset your boundaries, beginning today, and get back in the game.

Main Points
Two extremes!
  • Exhibit A: Passive Indifference
  • Exhibit B: Painful Insensitivity
    • Review: The teaching of Jesus. --Matthew 18:15-17
    • Step 1: Private conference --Matthew 18:15
    • Step 2: Small group confrontation --Matthew 18:16
    • Step 3: Public disclosure Matthew 18:17a
    • Step 4: Public exclusion --Matthew 18:17b

      • The Question: How do we restore those who have fallen?

      The Answer: Galatians 6:1-2

      What does Galatians 6:1-2 mean?

      • The Situation: A fellow Christian is “caught” (overcome) by a sin.
      • The Command: The spiritually mature are to restore this believer.
      • The Method: Gentleness is to characterize our attitude and the process.
      • The Warning: Restoration is a dangerous process even for the mature.
      • The Summary: “Bearing one another’s burdens” involves the arduous task of confrontation, forgiveness, comfort, and loving fallen believers back to a position of fellowship and former fruitfulness. (see 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 & Luke 15:11-32)
        • Conclusion: We serve the God of “second chances.”
        • We will all “fall” to some degree at some time.
        • We must resist our fears and insecurities that lead to passive indifference.
        • We must resist our desire for justice and self-righteous tendencies that lead to painful insensitivity.
        • We must restore, not “shoot our wounded.”
        • How can we fail to do for another what Christ has done for us?
