CLEAR BOUNDARIES

Healthy Households - Part 3 | September 22, 2024

15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”    -Genesis 2:15-17

Boundaries are not RESTRICTIONS.

They are a clear PATH to freedom and peace.

Why We Keep It Fuzzy:

  • Fear of CONFLICT

  • People PLEASING

  • Personal DOUBT

Restoring Freedom and Peace at Home

1. CLARIFY 

“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”    -John 2:4

2. COMMUNICATE 

But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”    

-Joshua 24:15

3. COOPERATE 

16 But from then on, only half my men worked while the other half stood guard with spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail. The leaders stationed themselves behind the people of Judah 17 who were building the wall. The laborers carried on their work with one hand supporting their load and one hand holding a weapon. 18 All the builders had a sword belted to their side. The trumpeter stayed with me to sound the alarm.    -Nehemiah 4:16-18
