TOPIC: Relationships
REFERENCES: 1 John 1:6-10
SERIES: Renewing Your Relationships, Part 2
SERMON SUMMARY
There are few events more embarrassing than tripping or falling down. Have you ever had that experience? You're walking along confident, assured, proud, and your foot catches an uneven spot in the sidewalk and you do that half fall. Sometimes in the mix of relationships, when we don't know what to do, when we aren't paying attention, we stumble.
We make mistakes.
We overschedule our lives.
We get into or stay in damaging relationships.
We lash out in anger.
We're not all that we could be, should be, every moment of every day of our life.

SERMON SUMMARY
There are few events more embarrassing than tripping or falling down. Have you ever had that experience? You're walking along confident, assured, proud, and your foot catches an uneven spot in the sidewalk and you do that half fall. Sometimes in the mix of relationships, when we don't know what to do, when we aren't paying attention, we stumble.
We make mistakes.
We overschedule our lives.
We get into or stay in damaging relationships.
We lash out in anger.
We're not all that we could be, should be, every moment of every day of our life.
But mark this down, the primary condition of the human sprit that transcends race, class, and culture is that we all stumble, we all miss the mark, we all sin.
When I stumble I am faced with a profound choice:
How will I deal with the stumble?
Will I get back up?
Will I deny it?
Will I confess it?
Will I complicate things by lying?
Will I just give and say I couldn't help it?
