29 Jan 2011 Sermon (BUILDING RELATIONSHIP SERIES)

Building better relationships
1 Pet 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins

3 key on How to Build better relationship:

1. Make it your top priority to love
In every situation and circumstances choose to love

1 cor 13: 4-5
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Be overlook and offense : be kind

A house is made of walls but a home is built with love

2. Make every excuse to express love
Love is express outwardly

Q: can you love people just in your thoughts but without expressing it in words or actions?

On 19 Feb, we will have Friendship service

Make an effort to show your love to other by finding their love language and do love them with their love language.

1 john 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

Rom 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us

Love is choice!!

Eph 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Challenge: God wants you to give your family what they need, not what they deserve

3. Make love your way to better relationship

Love bring healing, Love bring restoration!!

Prov 10:11 (NASB)
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

Love turns a house to home

Love is tested when its the hardest moment you can't love

Prov 25:21-22
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the LORD will reward you.


5 aspects to become a truly loving person:
1. Making an investment (Find other love language and act on it)
2. Connection - forming an emotional bond with them
3. Truth telling (dare to speak the truth)
4. Time of healing
5. Letting go

Challange: Initiate love by being the first in demonstrating love
