how many people have been blessed by
this sermon series so far this has been
a good one for you okay well we’re
taking it to the next level today
next level and how are we gonna do that
you know somebody once told me that
collective wisdom is better than one
person’s wisdom every day and we’re in
the fifth week of this sermon series and
I thought we’d do something different I
can talk about relationships all day I
got tons of stuff to talk about and I
got three more weeks to do it after this
and you don’t want to miss them but
today I thought that let’s let’s invite
some other people who may represent
people in the audience who are watching
people who may be single people who may
be dating people who are engaged people
who’ve been married a short time a long
time young old all that and let’s just
start talking this is one of the things
me and my wife have found that in real
relationships sometimes it’s better when
somebody else starts the conversation
then for the people in the relationship
to start the conversation um I know that
many times when me and my wife were
going through something if I asked her
something about why she did something it
turns into an argument or excuse me he
did fellowship at that moment but when
somebody else asked most of it both of
us how are you doing in this area then
we both get an opportunity to share um
what we’re gonna try to do is three
things and and for all you that have to
have Scripture and have points these are
it’s coming in the next five minutes so
you better get all of them because the
rest of it’s gonna be dialogue okay the
reason that we’re doing this is my
desire is that every person would
embrace the time and season God has them
in
um ecclesiastics 3/1 says for everything
there is a season a time for every
activity Under the Sun that’s including
relationship that means there’s a time
to be single there’s a time to marry
there’s a time to be alone and let God
refine you there’s a time for everything
and so we want everybody to not just be
in their season but we want you to
embrace it man I’m married and I love
you man I’m single and I’m living it up
man I’m dating and I don’t know if she’s
the one or she the one but it’s fun
right now like I want you to embrace
whatever season you’re in so that God
can get the most out of it the second
thing I want you to know is that there
is her hope for your hurdles there’s
hope for your hurdles everybody’s going
through something in relationship that
is a hurdle for them some of y’all don’t
know how to communicate and that’s a
hurdle for you so you really feel
something but every time it comes out in
a secondary emotion like anger
frustration and really you have
something really that needs to be
addressed but you don’t know how to do
it and we want to let you know number
one wherever you are relationally
through this panel you’re not the only
one going through it the enemy tries to
take people out in isolation you’re the
only one don’t tell nobody what you’re
going through what are they gonna think
of you when they find out y’all are
really having these marital problems or
the relationships not working out or we
just went Facebook official and now we
want to quit a week later but I just
want you to know that everybody has
hurdles in relationship okay can we just
break the ice
how many people have hurdles in
relationships right now come on let’s be
honest okay and some of y’all like I’m
not even in a relationship you have
hurdles with the people on your dorm
floor you have hurdles with the person
who serves you Starbucks every week they
understand what I’m saying those are all
relational things and we want you to
know there there’s help for that see
because III think that the church has
lost the power of a simple testimony
I feel like we don’t realize that if we
just can share with somebody where we’re
at and what we’re going through and how
God’s bringing us through or brought us
through that how that gives hope to
somebody else I want you to understand
that this what’s gonna happen today is
as powerful as me getting up speaking in
tongues laying hands on people because
the Bible tells us in Revelations when
the enemy comes to accuse this is how
you overcome him
