Sunday Recap- 2/19/12

In a culture where the notion of intimacy has been distorted by the mine-fields of fear, mistrust, and selfishness, where people settle for and are burned by counterfeit forms of intimacy, where many are caught in cycles of obligation and frustration, Scripture offers a distance perspective.

This week we looked at verses in Galatians 5-6 that speak about boundaries and discernment in our relationships, the tension between bearing one another’s burdens and the responsibility of carrying or own load.

It takes discernment to determine the ‘property line’ of what is ours and what is not as we attempt to come alongside others to sacrificially and compassionately love and serve them.  One of the roles we have as a community of Jesus followers is to help each other discern those boundaries, to help each other align with God’s grace and truth.

Scripture we read
Galatians 5:1-6:5 (specifically 6:2,5)
