57 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:19,840 But what I decided was to go back and start and remind us that our faith is really a matter of relationships. 58 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,760 It's how God relates with us. 59 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,920 It's how we relate with God and it's how we relate with one another. 60 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:36,160 And I can take us back to the very beginning, to the narrative in Genesis when Adam and Eve fell. 61 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:43,440 And they distanced themselves because that's what happens when relationships are broken. 62 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,240 And God did not sit back on his throne and say, well, where are you Adam? 63 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,720 God came down. 64 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,160 The Bible says he came to the garden and he was walking there. 65 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760 And then he said, Adam, where are you? 66 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,520 And if we take nothing away from the message today, that's what we need to take away, 67 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:08,440 that because we know God and that we have the God-like nature in us, it is always left to us 68 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,320 to be the one that will leave the comfort of our spots. 69 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,440 The way God left heaven and came down, he didn't say, Adam, 70 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,040 where are you? He came to where he last saw Adam. 71 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960 That is our job. 72 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,520 We are the ones that will need to go to the place we last saw that person, 73 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:37,360 where we had the broken relationship and say to them, where are you? 74 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,960 It's always going to be on us. 75 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:50,680 And so I'm going to tell us right away that to rebuild or renovate our hearts in the area of relationship, 76 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,120 the first requirement is love. 77 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,880 I know you probably thought I had forgotten the clicker again today. 78 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,480 I didn't. 79 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,160 So relationships are built on love. 80 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Unconditional, undeserved, agape love. 81 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:23,760 We grant others the dignity of loving them because it's the same kind of dignity that God has granted to us, 82 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:31,520 irrespective of how or whatever situation is going on in our lives. 83 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:40,080 And Dallas Willard in his book said that for us as human beings to be naturally OK, 84 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,400 that we have to be rooted in what he calls circles of sufficiency. 85 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,040 And those circles of sufficiency are the things that support us through life, 86 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:58,880 because, again, the Christian faith is not a do-it-alone kind of thing. 87 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Dallas Willard used the and then he said, we are supported by the circles. 88 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,680 And these circles that support us invariably supported by the Trinitarian God. 89 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,880 And he kept using the Trinitarian God. 90 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,280 And I wondered why he was doing that. 91 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:28,840 Then it occurred to me that he just wanted us to know that God is three people in one separate, distinct and yet in relationship. 92 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:39,440 And so what I did was to try to scope out what I thought that could look like with us at the center. 93 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,960 And then we have our family and our friends and our church group and our church and invariably God. 94 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,400 And we're all, you know, so well protected. 95 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,160 But this is a perfect picture. 96 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920 I doubt that any one of our lives really looks that way. 97 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,960 It's more likely that we have something that looks like this. 98 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,120 It's all broken. It's all fragmented. 99 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,200 Excuse me. 100 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,520 We have circles, you know, joints here and there. 101 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:14,200 It's because we're a work in progress, always a work in progress, always going through a sanctification. 102 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,520 And what he said was that it is very difficult. 103 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,440 And I agree with him. 104 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:37,080 It's very difficult for us to for us to find anyone who's gone through life without having been deeply hurt in their relationships. 105 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:50,840 And it could be our intimate relationships, our family relationships, our siblings, our children, our friends or any other kind of relationship. 106 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,800 But relationships come with a lot of hurt. 107 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,760 And when we get hurt, we tend to do two things. 108 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,520 We either attack or we distance ourselves, we withdraw. 109 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:18,520 And we end up with what looks like that broken circles, bits and pieces here and there. 110 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:26,280 And that's because when we get hurt, there is woundedness in us. 111 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,160 And I don't know where we are today. 112 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Perhaps we're dealing with woundedness in one area of life or the other. 113 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:46,240 I want to encourage us and say, if you took a head count, a lot of us would raise our hands to that. 114 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:53,960 But there is hope because God knows our nature and our frailty. 115 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,800 And he has made provision in the Bible to encourage us. 116 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:08,720 And so we have Bible verse like Psalm 147, verse three, that says he heals the broken hearted and he binds up their wounds. 117 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:15,280 You see, to to prepare for the sermon, I had to make a few calls to a few people. 118 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:22,760 People that I felt I had to reach out to them one more time, one more time. 119 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,960 It was the only way I could come up here and deliver the sermon on relationships. 120 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:36,640 And maybe you will have to do the same thing when this is all over. 121 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:43,240 So, like we've said, it is not a do it yourself process at all. 122 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:50,320 Just like Scott and Libby need the right in the video, they said it. 123 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:58,280 They needed help. They recommended that you employ somebody that knows what they're doing. 124 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:07,960 We need help as well. We cannot do renovate or restore or rebuild our relationships all by ourselves. 125 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:14,120 We need the help of community, a good community that supports us. 126 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,560 We need the help of the Holy Spirit. 127 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:24,600 Sometimes we forget that part of the work of the Holy Spirit is to guide us in all things. 128 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:31,800 To guide us on what to say to that person, when to say it, what to do and when to do it. 129 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,280 And so we cannot do it and just go off on our own. 130 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:41,880 We always have to invite him to support us as we take steps to rebuild, restore that relationship. 131 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:50,880 With that child, with the mother, with the parents, with the family member, whoever it is. 132 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,920 You're going to need a supportive group. 133 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,640 And sometimes you get it right the first time you try. 134 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,640 And sometimes it doesn't work. 135 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,680 But this is what the Bible says in the book of Romans 12. 136 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:09,480 It says, for as long as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 137 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:17,960 And so it always will always come back to us. 138 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:26,640 And so we continue to pray that God will take that person to the space where they are able to hear 139 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:35,280 and to know how much the relationship means to both of us. 140 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,440 So what are the kind of tools that we need for this renovation project? 141 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480 We're circling back to love. 142 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:51,640 When we want to renovate our hearts in the area of relationship, love is the principal thing. 143 00:13:51,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Because love bears witness to the nature of God in us. 144 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,400 In our reading today, we heard that God is love. 145 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,440 So the very nature of God is that of love, love towards us. 146 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,280 And that same love is the kind of love that will motivate us to love others unconditionally, 147 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,400 that will make us to reach out even when they are the ones that wounded us. 148 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,240 It doesn't mean we have to rush off to do it. 149 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840 No, we have to heal and be in a good space. 150 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,600 But invariably, we're going to have to have that discussion. 151 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:43,440 And Scripture says that by this, by the showing of love is how people will know that we're the disciples of Christ. 152 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,200 That's so interesting. 153 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Because it's not by how much we serve. 154 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,840 It's not by how much we preach. 155 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:55,640 It's not by the measure of our relatedness. 156 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,760 It's none of those things. 157 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,760 Those things are important. 158 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:08,800 But it's by how much we show love and we reach out to others in love. 159 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:17,320 And 1 Peter 4, verse 8 teaches us that love covers a multitude of sins. 160 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:25,640 I'm sure you can relate with this, given how many times you've had to forgive maybe your children or people around you. 161 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,120 But I'll tell you something about something that happened to me. 162 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:37,960 My son had a phone and I gave it to him and I told him, you know, this is the data limit and please don't go over this. 163 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,400 And he was OK with that. 164 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,560 And we had that agreement. 165 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,960 And then he went off for basketball. 166 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,160 And while he was away, I think he ran out of data. 167 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000 And each time they texted him, do you need more data? 168 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,360 He said, yes. 169 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,080 Do you need? Yes, yes, yes. 170 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:58,080 And I was left with a bill that really shocked me. 171 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,120 And I said, I'm going to take that phone away. 172 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,280 How could you do this and this and that and the other one? 173 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:14,520 But even that one was covered, even that the multitude of the bills, it was covered. 174 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,640 I didn't take the phone away. 175 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,440 I taught him to be more responsible in using his phone. 176 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:29,680 But that's how God is towards us. 177 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:37,760 And the next renovation step would be to repair the broken links. 178 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,840 Like we saw in that diagram, there were circles, some of them full, some of them broken. 179 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,360 What are we going to do to repair them? 180 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,720 Yes, we're going to have love, but we're going to have to forgive for sure. 181 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,120 And how should we forgive? 182 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,160 We should forgive the way Christ forgave us. 183 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,160 That is something that each time it comes to my mind, it's very difficult for me not to forgive anything, 184 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:09,320 because each time I remember how Christ forgives us, how God forgives us. 185 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:19,160 When you remember that, you'll find it very easy to forgive other people and reach out to them. 186 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,760 It's important that we release the burden and not hold the grudge, 187 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,080 that we allow healing and restoration. 188 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:36,800 It's okay to be the first person to go and say sorry, even when you are not the person that was wrong, 189 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:44,920 because that's what you do to repair and rebuild the relationship. 190 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Sometimes our hearts lock us in and lock us down. 191 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:57,440 We refuse to yield, but we invite the Holy Spirit to help us in that area. 192 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,600 We also need to reconnect. 193 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,360 Look for the stories that are common to you. 194 00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:08,400 Look for the stories that you've shared that are good stories and thicken those stories. 195 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,600 Let those be the things you dwell on. 196 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,240 Dwell on whatever is good, whatever is pure, whatever is going to build up. 197 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,640 That's what we need to dwell on. 198 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,200 Finally, we need to yield to the Holy Spirit, 199 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:29,320 because again, this is a job that can only be done with the help of the Holy Spirit. 200 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:37,600 So, when we do these basic things, we forgive, we reach out, we reconnect, 201 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,720 we thicken the positive things, and we try to reunite. 202 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:50,160 What happens is that... 203 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,040 Did I lose a slide here? 204 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,600 We do have... 205 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,160 What happens is that we begin to have godly communities around us. 206 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:06,720 We have godly communities around us that provide support to us. 207 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,560 A lot of times we need a hand. 208 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,680 We need a hand up, we need a hand shake, 209 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,440 we need a hug, we need a lifting hand, we need a hand of fellowship, 210 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,040 whatever nature of reaching out or hand we need, 211 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,400 we will have people to support us. 212 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:34,800 The more we work on rebuilding and restoring those broken lines and links, 213 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:41,680 the more we're going to have a more fulsome support system. 214 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,800 And when our circles of sufficiency are completed, 215 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,600 as we work on building them and they become completed, 216 00:19:52,600 --> 00:20:01,920 we have more stakeholders in our lives that will support us and lift us higher. 217 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:09,560 And so what we will end up with will not be that little us at the beginning when we started. 218 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,120 See the difference between where we started and what we have now? 219 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,640 We're still the yellow little one up there. 220 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,320 But look at all the circles at the bottom, we're higher now. 221 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,720 And we're more balanced and we're more stable. 222 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,840 And we're taller than we could ever be. 223 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:38,800 Because we took the time to rebuild this foundational support system of our relationship. 224 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,720 And like I said, it's a work for all of us. 225 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720 We need the community to get this done. 226 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,080 And what are the kind of things that we can do? 227 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,280 We can join a life group. 228 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,200 If you are new to the church and you are still trying to figure out things, 229 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:02,960 you can join a life group, a group of people that have life like minds, like passion, like you. 230 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,120 You can settle into it. 231 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:08,880 You can grow and you can mature. 232 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:18,440 And there will come a time when you will be the one supporting others as well. 233 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:30,520 So just to round up, we need to be the ones that will reach out to other people and say, 234 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,520 where are you? 235 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,760 That's what God does. 236 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000 He started that from the beginning of creation. 237 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,400 He's still asking, where are you? 238 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Adam, where are you? 239 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280 Erikan, where are you? 240 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,960 And that's what we need to do. 241 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000 God knew a relationship had been broken. 242 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,720 God knew Adam and Eve had done something wrong. 243 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,520 But he went after them with his love and said, where are you? 244 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,680 That's what we need to do. 245 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:07,120 And we pray that the Holy Spirit will help us as we embark on the journey of renovating 246 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:17,160 our hearts, rebuilding, restoring the relationships that have been broken so that we will all 247 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:23,880 come to the place where we have full circles of sufficiency around us. 248 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800 Amen. 249 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,920 Thank you for joining our podcast today. 250 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,440 If you found what Erikan said helpful and inspiring, please take a minute to rate and 251 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,960 review our podcast. 252 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,440 And make sure to listen next week as we start a new sermon series, Jesus is the Question. 253 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,240 Jesus asked a lot of questions. 254 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,880 In fact, perhaps he asked more questions than he gave answers. 255 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,600 Each week we'll be reflecting on one of these questions and learning a little bit more about 256 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840 why he asked them and what we can learn from them. 257 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,800 Thanks again and until next time. 258 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,680 This sermon was taken from the July 16th, 2023 sermon at Trinity Church, Streetsville 259 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:27,720 in Mississauga, Ontario.
