Key Points
- 1.Spiritual development is the most important area of growth, but it is not the only important area; emotional and relational maturity are also required.
- 2.Spiritual intelligence helps you discover your divine calling, while emotional intelligence gives you the capacity to accept and fulfill it.
- 3.Biblical relationship management goes beyond avoiding pain; it focuses on fulfilling God's purpose and surrounding yourself with the right people.
- 4.Boundaries are not designed to drive people away, but rather to protect the health, vibrancy, and closeness of healthy relationships.
- 5.God set clear expectations in the Garden of Eden rather than expecting humanity to read His mind, showing us the importance of articulating our needs.
- 6.Unconditional love is a freely given gift, but access to your life is a privilege that must be earned through good stewardship.
- 7.Although every human being is equally valuable in the eyes of God, not everyone adds equal value to your specific life and calling.
- 8.When you steward your relationships wisely and treat people with honor, God faithfully surrounds you with good people.
Sermon Moments
“You need spiritual intelligence to discover your calling; you need emotional intelligence to accept it.”
“Your greatest joy and your greatest pain in life is going to come from the same place: your relationships.”
“Relationship management isn't just about getting bad people out of your life; it's about knowing how to pursue and nurture the right people.”
“Boundaries don't protect you from love; they protect you for love.”
“God Himself did not expect Adam and Eve to read His mind, so why in the world are we expecting people to read ours?”
“Unconditional love, which God has, does not mean unconditional access.”
“Love is a free gift that must be given, but access is a privilege that must be earned.”
“We are all equally valuable in the eyes of God, but not everybody adds equal value to you.”
