Welcome to Passionate Life Church! This week we are blessed to have Dee Dee sharing the importance of boundaries in your life. Join us this Sunday!
-----------------------------------------------------
What are Boundaries?
Why are boundaries important as Christians?
Did Jesus set boundaries?
Yes!
He condemned the religious leaders who were hypocritical and disregarded God's laws:
Matthew 23:27-28 NIV
Jesus also set personal boundaries by taking time for solitude and prayer:
Mark 1:35 NIV
He refused to perform miracles for those who demanded them as a sign:
Matthew 12:38-39 NIV
Jesus taught his disciples about the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, but also emphasized the need to confront and address sin within the community:
Matthew 18:15-17 NIV
Boundary Myths:
Boundaries are selfish:
Boundaries are barriers to intimacy:
Boundaries are rigid and inflexible:
Boundaries are unnecessary in close relationships:
Setting boundaries means confrontation:
Why do we struggle to set boundaries?
Lack of assertiveness skills
Fear of conflict or rejection
Enmeshment or codependency
Lack of support or validation
Low self-esteem, guilt, or fear of being selfish.
Boundary sayings:
“Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.
“Where do I end and someone else begins?” (differentiation)
“Don’t work harder than them”.
“Your disappointment is not a consequence for someone’s bad behavior”.
“If you are consistently overly responsible in a relationship you allow the other person to be under responsible”
Boundary Truths:
When we try to please others without taking God’s instructions we make an agreement with the enemy
When we don’t set boundaries we give up our voice and relinquish our authority
Do nothing out of Fear or Shame
Be a Truth Teller. You have the fruits of the Spirit so that you can speak the Truth in Love
This world is filled with traps…people who will steal our peace and wear us out “energy vampires”
Lack of boundaries and over stepping boundaries are both generational sins
God calls us to be emotionally strong and healthy. We are to fight the battle He has set before us. We are to be alert, stay in His Word, and listen for His instructions and strategies. We are to know our value and worth, be honest with ourselves, face hard things and be brave enough to have difficult conversations with others.
Galations 1:10 NIV
Proverbs 4:20-27 NIV
