Introduction: People are hurting…. Physically hurting, Spiritually hurting, and Emotionally hurting. What can we do?
We can Reach out a Hand and touch someone!
Three ways to reach out to someone:
 

1. Reach out with a Healing Hand!

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” (Gal 6:1)

The word “fault” is παράπτωμα,: (par-ap’-to-mah), which means a falling away, lapse, slip, false step, trespass, sin.

At times, CHRISTians get caught in a “fault.” They need restoring.
 

2. Reach out with a Helping Hand!

“2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Gal 6:2)

To bear one another’s burdens means to help carry the load.
 

3. Reach out with a Hopeful Hand!

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Gal 6:9)

The word “weary” is ἐκκακέω,(ek-kak-eh’-o), I am faint, am weary.

The word “faint” means not give up. Do you ever feel like giving up? Have you ever grown weary in doing good? It can be tiresome. Therefore, we need to renew our strength as we wait upon the Lord.

“1But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isa 40:31)
 
Conclusion: Do you need to wait upon the Lord? Will you Reach out a Healing Hand, Helpful Hand, and a Hopeful Hand to someone in need?
