Bear One Another’s Burdens

Galatians 6:1-10 (ESV)

Share the load.

Matthew 22: 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Be willing to get dirty

There is a return on investment.

Admonish One Another

Romans 15:14-15

14 And concerning you, my brothers and sisters, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another. Romans 15:14 NASB

“We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ.” Colossians 1:28 NASB

14 And concerning you, my brothers and sisters, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish ONE ANOTHER. 15 But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given to me from God.” Romans 15:14-15 NASB

1. Have the right motive.

Galatians 6:1 NIV Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

“Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears. Acts 20:31 ESV

2. Be Word saturated.

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV

16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16 NASB

3. Be the right person. 

14 I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 4:14-15 ESV

Spur One Another On

Hebrews 10:19-25

Draw near to God.

Persevere in the faith. 

Grow by being accountable. 

Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. Proverbs 27:6

The Church

Matthew 16:13-20

Our faith is based on the divine claims of Christ.

36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” 37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2

Our church is built by Jesus.

1 Peter 2 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ

 6 For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,

    a chosen and precious cornerstone,

and the one who trusts in him

    will never be put to shame.”[b]

Our enemy is already defeated by Jesus. 

Romans 8 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Let’s Go!

John 4:1-42

What are people going to think of me.

They know my past.

What if I can’t answer all their question’s.

I’m an introvert, not my giftedness.

Rebeca Pippert “Being an extrovert isn't essential to evangelism - obedience and love are.

Charles spurgeon Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

The gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.
