Text:

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him
gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. Do not be deceived:
God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful
nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the
Spirit will reap eternal life.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do
not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those
who belong to the family of believers.

Take a Minute:

Pray about our church family: who needs good done for them?

Before the week is out, find a practical way to show compassion to them, and share it with your
group at the next meeting.
