How the Family Treats Each Other

Preacher: Danny D'Acquisto

Passage: Galatians 4:12-20

Sermon Points:

Paul's relationship with the Galatians:

1. How it used to work - When the Galatians had no regard for their flesh, they received Paul as if he was Christ.
2. Why that changed - When the Galatians started relying on their flesh, Paul became their enemy.
3. What can fix that - When Christ is formed in the Galatians, their family relationship can be repaired.

The Claim: Let's get back to treating one another as if Christ is living in us.

Application Points:

If Christ is living in us:

1. We will care for our brothers, even when our flesh is weak.
2. We will receive our brothers, even when they tell us hard truths.
3. We will make much of our brothers, rather than ourselves.
