Relationships. A Sermon by Leslie English

These are the notes from a recent sermon preached at Lyons Community Church. Our new Pastor has been delivering on time and amazing messages.

Subject: Relationships…Are you competing or completing?

Biblical References: Ephesians 5:31; Proverbs 22:6

Message Notes:

  • Competing: Striving against one another to gain or win something.
  • Completing: Making (Something) whole or perfect.
  • We must love the other side of our relationship.

*Marriage: You spiritually become connected as one flesh.

  • We need to speak to make sure we are building up our spouse.
  • Communication is not confrontation.
  • Communicating is to talk and work things out in love.

*Family:

  • Train a child in the way they should go.
  • Do not compete against your children.

*Friendship, Co-Workers, & Church Body:

  • Are you pouring your whole heart into everything that you do?
  • Are you pouring Jesus into every relationship you have?
  • Are you cheating the time clock or being dishonorable to God?
  • Don’t compete against your friends but build them up and let them build you up. It doesn’t take anything away from you.

Our GREATEST task is sharing the Gospel of Jesus.
