Before the Session

Facilitator: In advance of the session

  • Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.







Read Galatians 6:1-16 , then watch the Bible Background Video.


Ask questions like these:

  • The early parts of this passage seem to say that we’re responsible for our own actions, yet encourage us to work to help others. Which of those two views comes closest to your thinking and why?
  • In what ways can we reconcile this advice?
  • Why do you think Paul wrote something as frivolous as “see what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand!” in such a weighty letter?
  • What does it really mean to “boast” about some aspect of faith, and how can one do so without it turning into a bad thing?
  • How do we typically respond to Paul’s statement that “a new creation is everything” in the way we practice our faith?



Share this video on how we see ourselves, then ask questions like:

  • What kinds of differences might exist between the person we show to the rest of the world and the person that we believe ourselves to be?
  • Why do you think such differences exist?
  • In an earlier video, Nikki reveals that “Paul is calling us all to stop relying on our own ability to “make a good showing,” “to do what we are supposed to do.” What kinds of things do we do, in general, in order to “make a good showing” and why?
  • What is the difference between “boasting” about the things that we feel are signs of a strong faith and boasting about Christ?
  • Knowing that people may form both positive and negative impressions of our faith from observing our actions, how can we live in a “faithful” way that inspires others but does not emphasize adherence to some form of religious rules?

Pray together to end the session, then close by sharing with them this reminder:
