Intro:
AG: Some things are more important than others.
When you receive junk email do you give it the same importance as high priority messages?
In the realm of our spiritual lives there are some things that really matter.
In the realm of our spiritual lives there are some things that really, really matter.
We are told what really counts.
Paul closes the letter to the Galatians with his own hand and using large letters.
It would be like using bold print in an email.
It is his way of saying pay close attention to this section of the letter.
TS: Paul finishes his thoughts and contrasting the flesh and spirit as he takes up sowing and reaping.
RS:
Galatians 6:6-
A Specific Example
Sharing with Teachers
Sharing with Teachers
Let the one who is taught share with the one who teaches
There is a call to give generously (Vs 6-8)
The teacher of God’s Word is to be supported.
Even as early as the first century there were teachers of the Word supported by God’s people.
I am glad to know that it is not some distortion that came out of the dark ages of the church.
Paul worked as a tentmaker but did receive a gift from Philippi.
Paul taught here and elsewhere that supporting God’s servants is the outgrowth of a Spirit led congregation.
A spiritual church and spiritual Christian share finances and share burdens.
Paul and many were itinerant preachers.
They were supported by the gifts from the churches.
Paul at times was bivocational.
At other times, he was supported by churches.
Sowing and Reaping
Sowing and Reaping
We find the principle of sowing and reaping (Vs 7-8)
The farmer knows if you sow weeds you reap weeds.
God cannot be mocked
“lit.
treat with contempt”
You cannot treat God with contempt… and WIN
You are deceiving yourself.
to flesh
The law of sowing and reaping is a universal principle God established in the universe.
If you plant peas, what do you expect to harvest?
If you plant wheat, what will grow?
Paul highlights the two options.
to flesh
If you sow only after the flesh-
reaps corruption
Sow in the sinful nature you will reap destruction.
to spirit
If you sow to spirit, reap eternal life
Sow in Spiritual and you will reap eternal blessings.
Once it is harvest time it is too late to change what you sow.
But right now you can start sowing in the spiritual.
This goes back to the lust of the flesh and the fruit of the spirit.
Don’t get tired
Keep sowing, even if the harvest isn’t apparent.
Keep praying
Keep witnessing
Keep serving
Keep doing good
Do good to all
+10
Especially to those who are brothers and sisters.
Final Words
Gal.
6:11
