St. Paul (Peoria) | Pastor Deveraux Hubbard

Explore how setting boundaries with your finances leads to financial stability and lets you be fully present in other areas of life.

It's important to clearly communicate personal boundaries in our relationships while maintaining grace and respect. Drawing from biblical principles, specifically Proverbs 15:1 and the interactions of Jesus with His disciples, this sermon provides practical guidance through the C.L.E.A.R. acronym, which stands for Communicate, Listen, Empathize, Articulate, and Reaffirm. Learn how to recognize your needs, address the fear of conflict, and engage in honest conversations that honor both yourself and others.

Maintaining integrity in all walks of life strengthens our personal boundaries. With integrity, we can truly be present in each moment, be true to who God created us to be , and strengthen our connection with God and others!

We often find ourselves torn between the urge to help friends and family and the need to set boundaries to protect our own well-being. In this sermon, we examine the balance between being helpful to others and taking care of ourselves, as guided by Galatians 6:2 and 6:5. By exploring six key principles—Clarity, Capacity, Cultivate, Counsel, Communicate, and Check—we learn how to discern when to step in and help and when to allow others to manage their own responsibilities!

Setting healthy limits can transform your spiritual journey and empower you to live authentically in Christ.

When faced with challenges, turning to spiritual practices and community support can help you manage your anxiety and fear effectively. In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat's response to adversity teaches the importance of reframing our thinking to not just bounce back but come out better from trials. Jehoshaphat's fear upon hearing the approaching armies highlights a natural human reaction to threats. However, his choice to seek the Lord and proclaim a fast throughout Judah showcases how we can channel fear into constructive spiritual action!

In Romans 7:14-25 (NIV), Paul's struggle with sin highlights the ongoing spiritual battle we all face. This message is heartfelt reflection on how to navigate our own inner conflicts with faith and perseverance as we overcome our challenges!

Pastor Hub encourages us to stand firm in our values, trust in God's presence, and understand that maintaining our boundaries, even in the face of adversity, is essential for our well-being and spiritual health.

In Week 4 of the "Standing Firm" series, we focus is on maintaining personal boundaries under pressure, exemplified by Joseph's story in Genesis 39:6-12. Joseph, sold into slavery and serving in Potiphar's household, was faced with persistent temptation from Potiphar's wife. Despite her advances, Joseph upheld his integrity and refused to compromise his values, stating his loyalty to Potiphar and his commitment to God.

In this sermon, Pastor Hub highlights the importance of setting clear personal boundaries based on your core beliefs and values, communicating them effectively, and consistently reinforcing them through actions. Even when falsely accused and imprisoned due to his adherence to these boundaries, Joseph's unwavering faith and integrity ultimately led to God's favor and blessings.

In this sermon, we discuss practical steps for establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in our lives. Drawing from the story of Abram and Lot in Genesis 13:1-18, we learn about the need for boundaries, effective communication, setting priorities, and trusting God with the outcome to experience a more balanced and peaceful life. Join us as we learn about what God says about how to navigate relationships and responsibilities with boundaries.

Personal boundaries help guide us and protect us from making harmful choices. These boundaries give us structure, safety, and help us build strong relationships. In this sermon, we look at the story of Adam and Eve to show what can happen when we ignore boundaries and why it’s so important to respect them!
