Happy Friday!

Let’s reflect on what we’ve learned this week, invite the Spirit to transform us and commit to living out his guidance.

Reflect  

Take another look at Galatians 6:1-10.

  • What are Paul’s main points in this passage? How has it helped you walk in the Spirit as an individual? What about as the body of Christ?
  • What has stayed with you personally as you’ve studied this passage?

    I can’t believe it, but next week will be our last week in Galatians. I pray that the Spirit has spoken to you through this amazing book!

    Since we’re close to wrapping up, I’m inviting you to read through the whole letter today in one sitting. It’s only seven pages in my Bible. Read it without stopping. Let Paul take you on a journey through the highs and the lows of his relationship with the Galatians. Hear his plea to believe the gospel and put your faith completely in what Jesus has done for you.

    See how our loving Father has brought us into his family. Think about what Paul’s words to the Galatians means for our relationships with other believers today.

    When you’re finished, think about your overall impressions. What stands out to you? What words or phrases stay with you?

    It’s so tempting to finish a study like this and quickly move on to the next thing. But then we miss the sweetness of savoring God’s Word.

    Respond  

    Now slow down, pray over these prompts, and ask the Spirit to direct you.

    Ask the Father:

    • What do you want me to take away from what I’ve studied this week? What do you want me to remember and keep present with me?
    • What do you want me to do with the truth of your Word? What is the one, next, right step that you want me to take?
    • What are you teaching me about you? About who you are and the relationship I have with you? How can I worship and love you based on what you’ve revealed?

    Continue to pray for the fruit of the Spirit in your life and in the life of the church. Let’s not get weary in doing good! Let’s build stronger relationships through meaningful conversations. Let’s be all in — united to make a difference in our community. Pray for hearts to change, starting with your own.

    Coming up next week… 

    Next week we’ll wrap up Galatians and further reflect on all we’ve learned. Don’t miss it!
