Galatians 6:1–10
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.
Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (ESV)

In his sermon on Galatians 6:1–10, titled Principles of Life, Jon Farra explored the biblical call to live lives of purity, purpose, community, and responsibility while sowing seeds that align with God’s Spirit. He emphasized the importance of restoring those caught in sin with gentleness, bearing one another’s burdens, and fulfilling the law of Christ through sacrificial love and compassion. Highlighting both personal accountability and communal care, Farra encouraged believers to evaluate their actions, avoiding self-deception and pride.
He connected the principle of sowing and reaping to the choices we make: sowing to the flesh leads to corruption, while sowing to the Spirit produces eternal life. Believers are urged to persevere in doing good, trusting in God’s promise that faithful effort will bear fruit in due season. Farra concluded with a challenge to seize opportunities to do good to all, especially fellow believers, as an expression of God’s transformative work in their lives. Through scriptural examples and practical applications, the sermon called listeners to embody Christ’s example, striving for holiness and genuine love in their daily walk.
