Tension to Peace Marriage Session

Nobody actually likes conflict. When done poorly, conflict can be confusing, hurtful and damaging. On the other hand, skillful and faith-filled conflict can be (as marriage researcher Dr. Gottman calls conflict) a highway to Love. 
In this Marriage and Relationship session, today at 6:00 pm, Nick Perrine will help us learn and practice two conflict skills that can change the nature of our conflicts
IMMEDIATELY (this is bold, but it has happened too many times not to say it), and leave us with less tension, more peace and more love in our marriages.

Message Notes:


Identity-Love Me


What/Who is the G.O.A.T?


When it comes to the commandments of the Bible, Jesus addresses this discussion on the biblical law as follows:


“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. -Matthew 22:36-38


How to Love Him More:

1) Know Him More

2) Remain in Him

3) Not Loving the world

4) Loving Others

5) Being Like Him

 

“If you love me, keep my commands..." -John 14:15

 

Love without obedience is lip service.

Obedience without Love is hollow.

 

Big Idea:

The first and greatest identifier of a Christ follower, is that they love Him.
