"Bringing Sexy Back Week 2 sermon notes"

People in your life are meant to share it not be it!

Big Idea: Never become pre occupied with who you are with that you forget who you are!

3 words to remember when you are dating!
“IT WONT LAST”

90% of the time you wont marry the person you are dating in high school! It has happened, but it is a rare occasion.

Don’t get emotionally tied into it (watch your words)
Don’t get physically tied into it! (don’t get caught up in kissing etc)

The more you get tied into it, the more hurt comes out at the end!
EXAMPLE: you said you would never hurt me, I gave you my virginity and you’re breaking up with me…



How to have a Christian relationship!
1. PRIORITIZE
Matthew 6:33
Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants.
Then all your other needs will be met as well

2. Set boundaries
Lord, I am overflowing with your blessing, just as you promised. Now teach
me good judgment as well as knowledge. For your laws are my guide.
Psalms 119: 65-66 TLB

Determine now what will be accepted and not accepted!
Whether or not you will be alone, time you talk on the phone, time you spend with each other

Illustration: River and its banks!


3. Plan
Proverbs 18:9
He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer

When going out on a date, make a PLAN!! Idle mind is a devils workshop

4. Accountability
Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
Have someone who can hold you accountable with you dating life


5. Parents must approve
Eph 6:2
Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a
promise)

IN my opinion God cant bless a relationship based out of disobedience!
