Hey, I want to welcome all of our churches around the country, more and more around the world. It's amazing for our Atlanta area churches, especially. Good morning to you and our friends down the South Side, up at Hamilton Mill, and Gwinnett Church, and Brownsbridge Church, and Buckhead Church. It's so exciting to be a part of an expanding network of churches all over the country and all over the world who understand that it's not simply what we believe,

but it's what we do that makes the difference, because doing makes the difference,

and it begins with each one of us. And if this is your first time with us or your first time

I'm watching, that's what we are all about. Today, super excited about today's message.

Today, I'm going to talk about a catalytic, and I don't think that's an exaggeration,

a catalytic relationship posture. And also today, which will make this fun, we're going to

talk about one of the most misused, abused, misinterpreted verses in the entire Bible. And third but not,

or last but not least, ladies, you're going to love

today's sermon, regardless of how well or how poorly I presented. Okay, so we have something for

everybody today. Today's part two of our series, the three ingredients for relationships that go

the distance. This is a series for people who have relationships. That's all of us.

If you don't have any relationships and you're in one of our churches, you are in the right

spot, talk to somebody, we would love to get you involved in some relationships. But this is a series

for people on relationships at work, at home, at school, with your kids, with your grandkids, with your parents, with your

spouse, with your fiance. This is just general relationship information that is super helpful.

And these three ingredients that are part of this series come straight out of the New Testament.

But if you're not a Christian or not a Jesus follower or maybe from a different

faith tradition, this stuff is so practical. And I hope that as a result of this series,

if nothing else, some of you will pick up the Bible and begin reading the Bible again or

maybe for the first time. In fact, all three of these applications, all three of these messages are simply applications

of one overarching, really big idea that the Apostle Paul summarizes for us.

The Apostle Paul, of course, was a first century Pharisee who became a Jesus follower.
