KE Group Questions
Week of March 15, 2026

Summary
This sermon from Galatians 6:1-10 focuses on how Christians should respond to fellow believers who fall into sin. Rather than judging or condemning, we are called to gently and humbly restore them back to the right path. The message emphasizes that we are all part of one body, and when one member hurts, we all hurt. The pastor teaches that our role is to be restorers, not destroyers, and to share each other's burdens with love and compassion.

The sermon also addresses the importance of focusing on our own spiritual work rather than comparing ourselves to others or being idle in judgment. We are reminded that we reap what we sow - our words are seeds that can bring either life or death. The message concludes with an encouragement to not grow weary in doing good, as we will reap a harvest of blessing in due time if we don't give up on ourselves, our families, and others who need restoration.

Questions
  • According to Galatians 6:1, what should be our response when we see a fellow believer overcome by sin? How does this differ from the world's typical response?
  • The pastor mentioned that we often 'tolerate the flesh too much' like an untrained dog. What are some ways we might be tolerating sinful patterns in our own lives instead of addressing them?
  • What does it mean to 'share each other's burdens' practically? Can you think of a time when someone helped carry your burden or when you helped carry someone else's?
  • The sermon emphasized that 'our words are seeds' that can bring life or death. How can we be more intentional about the words we speak over our families, workplaces, and church community?
  • Why do you think it's easier to judge someone who is struggling rather than to gently restore them? What fears or insecurities might drive us to judge instead of help?
  • The pastor said we should focus on our own spiritual work rather than comparing ourselves to others. What are some practical ways to stay focused on our own growth and calling?
  • How can we tell the difference between enabling someone in their sin versus lovingly helping them find restoration?
  • The message warns against growing weary in doing good. What are some situations where you've been tempted to give up on someone or something, and how can we find strength to persevere?

Life Application
This week, identify someone in your life who may be struggling or going through a difficult time. Instead of judging or avoiding them, take a step to gently reach out and offer support. This could be through a phone call, a text message, offering practical help, or simply listening without judgment. Practice speaking life-giving words over your family, workplace, or community, and be intentional about sowing good seeds through your words and actions.

Importance  of KE Groups

Growing spiritually takes a daily personal walk with God and a gathering together in fellowship with other believers.

Our corporate gathering is for equipping the saints, but meeting in small groups allows regular individual
participation so that personal needs can be addressed.

Small groups also foster growth in ministering the gifts of the Holy Spirit, accountability, and the support
necessary to be a healthy member of the family of God.

The leadership of Praise Tabernacle has encouraged group leaders to be missional and evangelistic
in their approach to leading these groups.

The ultimate goal is Kingdom Expansion.
