The Oaks

Once we understand God has given each of us something worth protecting, we need a starting place to build boundaries in our lives. God's truth, our words, personal distance, time, family rituals and other people's help are all ways we can start building an infrastructure to help us value and protect the most important things we have.

Part two in a series. God has given you a space that is uniquely you. Boundaries help define and protect the valuable treasure God has invested in you. Healthy boundaries also work like a gate that helps you to let the good in, while keeping the bad out. Boundaries are necessary to help you obey God's assignments for your life.

The idea of boundaries enables us to identify where we end and others begin. Understanding ours and other's distinctiveness provides a starting point for all relationships. Boundaries also help us establish ownership over what is ours providing another beginning point for personal responsibility. It's time to take charge. 

Faith is a clarifying agent in your life. You are in a constant battle for your faith, which allows you to advance decisively. See how testimony, both yours and other's, is a powerful tool to keep your faith strong and your momentum moving forward.

Reflection is a tool that we can use to get out of the rat race. When we reflect, we are able to attach meaning to the things that truly matter. When we attach meaning to the things that matter, we are able to do those things intentionally.

Chaos and confusion are not God's will for your life. Proverbs 4:18 says that "the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter." In this talk, gain an understanding of God's desire to help bring as sense of clarity to your life.

We are destined to overcome in life and Jesus makes specific promises to those who do. God wants us to overcome in life's challenges without losing the sense of who we are. He also wants to show us who we are and does so as we overcome life's obstacles.
