STB080 | BSE | Galatians 6.1-18: Christian Maturity | Cultivate Relationships

BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION — Nathan shoots the breeze with Pastor Scott Frerking about Galatians 6.1-18. They discuss spiritual maturity, Christian generosity, and how the measure of our generosity directly impacts the generosity God demonstrates toward us. They also share how numbers-based evangelism is a fleshly, self-focused, approval-seeking false Gospel.

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
What do you use to measure your Christian maturity against others’? When is it most difficult for you to be generous with your: 1) time; 2) abilities; 3) money; 4) possessions with: 1) non-Christians; 2) Christians; 3) Christian/Ministry Leaders? How is living a Spirit-filled life amidst your job, friends, and family be a truer, more effective form of evangelism than simply telling people about the “Roman’s road” or praying a “sinner’s” prayer? Why might this be more difficult?

ACTIVATION STEPS
Ask the Holy Spirit to put on your mind 3 people (a non-Christian, Christian, and a Christian/ministry leader) that you are to intentionally care for and sacrificially be generous toward. Then, implement this over the next few days.
