Mission Hills Church

Live Free | Doing Good

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." (Galatians 5:1) So why are we so prone to shackling ourselves and others with things that keep us from experiencing that freedom? Join us for a study of the book of Galatians where the Apostle Paul teaches us how to live free by faith.

Welcome to Mission Hills!

Mission Hills is a church family—a family who wants to extend to you the same love, hope, and joy that we have received. We know that we cannot be all things to all people. But we do want to be one thing to all people. We want to be the place where anyone, of any age, of any level of spiritual maturity, of any economic class, of any ethnicity, of any church background—or no church background—can meet God in a way that transforms their life…forever!<br><br>If you are a first time guest, we would love to meet you! Stop by the Welcome Center for a free gift.

We have to stop indulging the self-centeredness of the flesh and start indulging the other-centeredness of the Spirit.

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. (Gal 6:1a)

Other-centered people help others escape the self-destruction of their sin.

Gentleness is strength accommodating itself to another's weakness.

But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. (Gal 6:1b)

Pride turns helping into hurting.

Galatians 6:2

Instead of looking down on others, focus on lifting up the load to help them get out from under it.

When I'm thinking about trying to restore someone caught up in sin:
1. What's motivating me to get involved?
2. Is my goal restoration?
3. How will I do it with gentleness?
4. What will I do to help lift the load so they can get out from under it?

Galatians 6:3-5

Good pride is being content because I’m doing what’s right.
Bad pride is being comfortable because I’m doing better than.

One of the greatest obstacles to spiritual growth is the comfort that comes from knowing I'm better than ________________.

Who do I think I'm better than? What might that be blinding me to?

We have to be managing our own load before we can help someone else lift theirs.

Galatians 6:6

Students should support their teachers.

Is what I’m giving here appropriate to what I’m getting here?

Galatians 6:7-8

Self-centeredness is inherently self-destructive.
Other-centeredness is inherently self-fulfilling.

Galatians 6:9-10

The good we do to others points them to the goodness of God.

What good is God calling me to do to point others to Him?
