Rethinking Compassion

Week 3

Text: Galatians 6:1-5

Topic: Accountability, Individualism

Big Idea of the Message: On its own, a member of the body of Christ is weak, but when together in community, the whole of the church has strength to carry burdens.

Discussion Questions:

  1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
  2. What is the command in this passage? What is the warning?
  3. At first the two statements “carry each other’s burdens” (v. 2) and “each one should carry his own load” (v. 5) seem contradictory. How should they both be carried out in the Body of Christ?
  4. What does Biblical accountability look like? How are you being held accountable? How are you holding someone else accountable?
  5. If you continue to read this passage in the context of v.10, the command is to look intentionally for opportunities to bless others, especially Christians. What is one small way you can do good for someone else this week?
  6. How can we pray for you?
