In the concluding message of the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) series, Pastor Rick Vannoy teaches from Galatians 6, focusing on how we are called to live out the good of our Heavenly Father. He challenges us to embrace four key aspects of Spirit-led living: restoring gently, bearing burdens willingly, giving generously, and loving opportunistically. This message serves as a reminder that our identity in Christ calls us to live in freedom and reflect God’s goodness through our actions.

If you’re looking to grow in your walk with God and make a tangible impact in the lives of others, this message offers practical steps and encouragement.

Discussion Questions for Small Groups:

1. How can you practice restoring others gently in your relationships and community?
2. What burdens can you help bear for someone in your life right now?
3. How does the principle of sowing and reaping influence your view on generosity?
4. What opportunities do you see in your daily life to do good and reflect God’s character?
5. How can you stay in step with the Spirit as you seek to live out the good works God has prepared for you?

This week on the Faith/Life Podcast, Pastor Nathan and Pastor Matt take a lighter approach with a biblical "Would You Rather" game, covering everything from walking on water to witnessing Pentecost. But we don’t shy away from deeper topics like the importance of genuine discipleship and confronting apathy in the church. Tune in for laughter, thought-provoking discussions, and encouragement to live out your faith.
