Sermon Title: “Not A Break-up Line”
May 20, 2018
Who gets the TV remote? Who loads the dishwasher? They may seem like “relationship issues,” but in reality, questions like this are not unique to your relationship. The underlying problem isn’t “relationship issues,” “girlfriend issues,” or “family issues.” It’s far more significant than that. “It’s not you, it’s me” isn’t the start of the breakup, it’s the start of healing.
Commitment defines the security and stability of the relationship, but commitment doesn’t instill hope.
The sequence every relationship goes through:
- Realize the other person is selfish.
- Realize the other person has gone through a similar process with you.
- Conclude that their selfishness is worse than yours.
Despair comes in when we’re committed, but there’s no hope of things getting better.
Commitment will keep you, but it cannot get you to a better place. To get there – you need confession.
Confession disarms
Confession restores hope
Confession Gives Wisdom
Most relationships don’t dissolve because of a lack of love, but due to a lack of wisdom.
You can be in a relationship with a sinner easier than you can be in a relationship with a narcissist.
Confession to your spouse will help restore a relationship, confession to your Heavenly Father will restore your soul.
