Galatians 6:1-6
INTRODUCTION
Last week, after our worship service, we had our Building a Common Vision meeting. The whole purpose is to get as many Crossroads people around tables together to discuss how we are called to live out God's calling for our church. We know what our church's mission is.... That's not up for debate... We say it every week at the end of the service. ''Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, HS.... Teach then to observe all that Jesus has commanded.''
But our meeting was to consider... How we can best do that with the unique people, passions, skills, gifts, resources that we have in this congregation.
We had 40ish people in the room. Gathered around tables discussing our hopes, desires for the future... For what this church can become and how God can use us as a beacon of hope in this neighborhood.
We were asked at each table to develop two words that we long for Crossroads to be known for.
In my group, we went straight to two ideas.... Christ-centered/Gospel-Centered and Community/Family
We began to discuss... What does it look like to be a family? A community... A Body as the Bible describes it. That is shaped by the gospel... The hope of Jesus?
What does deep spiritually satisfying community look like?
What does Gospel-Centered Community look like in practice?
I think today's passage actually gives a glimpse into the answer.
Galatians 5-6
[26] Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
[1] Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. [2] Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. [3] For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. [4] But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast ...
