IT’S COMPLICATED

Modern Love - Part 1 of 4 | February 6, 2022

Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad 

In this conversation…

  • We will recognize the complexity

  • We will be honest about our limitations

  • We will acknowledge the reality of hypocrisy

  • We will take personal responsibility

  • We will seek to be full of grace and truth

1. Your life is the RESULT of LOVING DESIGN

3 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” 5 And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

-Matthew 19:3-6

RESTORATION brings love back to life

9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.    -1 Corinthians 6:9-11

For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.    

-Romans 14:17
