Galatians 6:2-3 \u2013 NLT \u2013 Share each other\u2019s burdens, and in this way obey the Law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.\n\nSermon Point #1 \u2013 Sharing burdens and not imposing burdens.\n\nGalatians 6:7-8 - Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. \n\nSermon Point #2 \u2013 What we invest in matters.\n\nGalatians 6:9-10 \u2013 NLT - So let\u2019s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don\u2019t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone\u2014especially to those in the family of faith.\n\nSermon Point #3 \u2013 Perseverance pays off\n\nGalatians 6:12-16 \u2013 NLT - Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don\u2019t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save. And even those who advocate circumcision don\u2019t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples. As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world\u2019s interest in me has also died. It doesn\u2019t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. May God\u2019s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.\n\nMatthew 23:25-28 \u2013 NLT - \u201cWhat sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy\u2014full of greed and self-indulgence! You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too. \u201cWhat sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs\u2014beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people\u2019s bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.\n\nSermon Point #4 - Appearances can be deceiving.\n\nGalatians 6:15 \u2013 NLT \u2013 It doesn\u2019t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.\n\nSermon Point #5 - God desires transformation, not performance.
