Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.Mourn it and move on it: Genuine love grieves self-destructive behavior in others and takes decisive action to establish necessary relational boundaries.
- 2.Don't dodge the discomfort: Growth requires facing uncomfortable truths and speaking truth in love to help both speaker and hearer mature.
- 3.Expel it so you can elevate: Certain mindsets, habits, and dysfunctional relationships must be removed so that spiritual progress and health can occur.
- 4.You cannot fulfill God's purpose for your life if you are mismanaging the people in your life.
- 5.Toxic tolerance is enabling bad, dysfunctional, or destructive behavior through silence, passivity, or misplaced empathy.
- 6.Biblical love (agape) is defined by intentional action for another's ultimate good, not merely by feelings, comfort, or emotional highs.
- 7.When you dodge necessary discomfort in relationships, you set an appointment for future resentment.
Sermon Moments
“You cannot fulfill God's purpose for your life if you are mismanaging the people in your life.”
“Some things are not fixed by teaching; they require touch. Some things are not fixed by principles; they require God's power.”
“Enabling self-destructive behavior in the name of empathy causes people to think they are showing grace when they are actually assisting in self-destruction.”
“Speaking the truth in love grows the person that you are speaking truth to, but it also grows the person speaking it.”
“When you dodge the discomfort, you set an appointment for resentment.”
“Sometimes we have been praying for a breakthrough, and God is waiting on us to make a breakup.”
“You can look one way with clothes on, and another with them off. What is your life really like behind closed doors in your relationships and finances?”
