How To Heal Broken Relationships

Scripture:

Matthew 18:15-22

Notes:

There are at least three ways to handle conflict and sin.

A. Peace-faking. A peace-faker avoids conflict at all cost.

B. Peace-breaking. These people function more like skunks.

C. Peace-making. Willing to candidly discuss conflict.

Four Pathways To Peace

1. A private meeting (verse 15).

Two important imperatives in this verse: 

Go and Show.

This first step is to be “between you and him alone.”

1. Avoids shame for the person.

2. Minimizes misunderstandings.

3. Keeps you from hating the person.

4. The other person may not know they’ve offended you.

5. Limits gossip.

Matthew 18:15 - I must go quietly. 

Ephesians 4:26 - I must do it quickly

Matthew 7:5 – I must do it carefully

2. A private conference with witnesses (verse 16).

Some Other Benefits To Having A Witness Or Two

A. They can establish the facts

B. They can observe

C. May communicate the gravity of the situation 

D. They can keep things from escalating.

E. Witnesses can remember and record what was said.

3. A public announcement to the church (verse 17a).

Here are some reasons why we need to pursue this step:

1. Vindicates God’s holiness

2. Purifies the church

3. Deters others from sinning

4. Conveys biblical love and a pathway for restoration

4. Public exclusion from the church (17b).

1. The promise of His power.

2. The promise of His presence.

Let’s Consider These Questions

1. Am I treating the other person I’m in conflict with as someone God loves?

2. Is my goal reconciliation or retaliation? 

3. How’s my attitude?

4. How willing am I to obey?

The Chronological Life of Christ #89

Radical Obedience

Scripture:

Mark 9:43-50

Hebrews 3:13

Revelation 14:11

Matthew 23:25

Hebrews 10:24-25

Luke 16:24-25

Proverbs 26:20

Luke 16:19-31

Matthew 13:42

1 Timothy 5:2

Matthew 25:41

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

Ephesians 6:4

Revelation 14:10

Timothy 1:3-4

Luke 16:23

Notes:

1. Avoid Causing A Follower Of Christ To Sin

9 ways that we can cause a Christ-follower to slide into sin…

• By not practicing what we preach. Matthew 23:25: 

• By gossiping about someone. Proverbs 26:20: 

• By directly tempting someone to sin. Asking someone to lie for you would be an example. 

• By involvement in sexual immorality. This causes you to sin and leads someone else to sin as well. If you’re a Christian, you’re called to treat your boyfriend or girlfriend with purity. 1 Timothy 5:2. 

• By using substances like alcohol or drugs you could be sending the message that it’s OK for others to do the same. 

• By treating others unkindly and wrongly we can cause rebellion or outbursts of anger. Ephesians 6:4:

• By teaching false doctrine we can lead people astray. 1 Timothy 1:3-4: 

• By not encouraging and equipping believers. I’ve always been challenged by Hebrews 3:13

• By not gathering with God’s people according to Hebrews 10:24-25: 

2. Cut Off Anything That Causes You To Sin.

Here are eight things we know about hell.

• Hell is an actual place (Luke 16:19-31).

• Hell is a place of eternal punishment and judgment (Matthew 25:41).

• Hell is a place of divine wrath (Revelation 14:10)

• Hell is a place of terrible torment (Luke 16:23)

• Hell is filled with misery and pain (Revelation 14:11)

• Hell is a place of unquenchable thirst (Luke 16:24-25)

• Hell is a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:42)

• Hell is where eternal separation happens (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)

3. Live out the cause of Christ.

Jesus does not say that every man will salted with salt, but “with fire.”

Life is short

Death is sure

Hell is hot

Jesus saves

The Road To Greatness

Scripture:

Mark 9:33-37

Matthew 18:1-7

Luke 9:46-48

Notes:

HE CAME TO CAPERNAUM. Matthew 11:23.

HE ASKED THEM. 

THEY HELD THEIR PEACE.

THEY HAD DISPUTED AMONG THEMSELVES.

THE SECRET TO BEING “FIRST”

A DEMONSTRATION OF GREATNESS. 

Mark 9:35-36.

It is not who the child was that is of importance, but what Jesus said of the occasion.

First of all, we see that caring for a child for the child's sake is not sufficient in honoring God.

And, secondly, our motivation for serving children must be connected to a desire to be in fellowship with Christ.

“Make me, O Lord, a child again 

So tender, frail and small

In self possessing nothing 

In Thee possessing all

O Savior, make me small once more, that downward I may grow

And in this heart of mine restore 

The faith of long ago

With Thee may I be crucified 

No longer I that live

O Savior, crush my sinful pride 

By grace which pardon gives

Make me, O Lord, a child again 

Obedient to Thy call

In self possessing nothing 

In Thee possessing all.”

Sermon:

Seven Last Words of the Cross (7 of 7)

Into Thy Hands: The Safest Word

Scripture:

Luke 23:46

Notes:

Luke is the only writer to record the last words of the Son of God.

Father—This was Jesus’ favorite title for God.

Into your hands—O, the touch of a father’s hands.

With their hands, they beat Him. 

With their hands, they slapped Him. 

With their hands, they abused Him. 

With their hands, they crowned Him with thorns. With their hands, they ripped out His beard. 

With their hands, they smashed Him black and blue. With their hands, they whipped His back until it was torn to bits.

I commit—The word means to deposit something valuable in a safe place.

My spirit—His very life, His personal existence.

On the cross, Jesus was a man of prayer.

Jesus' life was not taken from Him

No man can by his own volition in a moment of time will his own death any more than he can will his own resurrection.

Jesus not only had the power to take His life back out of the grave, He had the power to give His life whenever He wanted.

So what you have here is not some victim. What you have here is a self-giving sacrifice.

So you look at the cross and you see supernatural darkness. That means God is pouring out judgment. 

You look at the cross and you see divine separation. That means that He has truly become sin and is bearing sin, our sin, our substitute. 

And then you see Him voluntarily giving His life. And that speaks of God's love and mercy and grace.
