1. I’ve Tried Everything But I Just Can’t Fix It.
Hosea 6:1 “Come, let us return to the Lord;     for he has torn us, that he may heal us;     he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
I’ve Tried Everything But I Just Can’t Fix It.

2. Two of God’s Most Ignored Principals.
Mathew 5:21-24
Mathew 18: 15-17

3. Mathew 18: 15-17 Attitude is Everything.
Remember they are precious to God.
They are your brother.
When we sin, it is first and foremost against God.
1st step; is between only you and them.
This step must be preceded by prayer and done with prayer.
Your motives must be pure.
2nd step; Take it to witnesses, that the truth be established by evidence.
3rd step; Take it to the whole congregation.

4. Mathew 5:21 -24 Attitude is Everything.
Must be done prayerfully
Anger toward a brother is sin.
Ephesians 4:26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Must take immediate action.
Until then sacrifice is of no value. Psalms 51:17
1 Peter 3:7 Hindered prayers.
Purpose : Reconciliation
2 Corinthians 7:10-13
John 17: 20-23
2 Corinthians 5: 14-18

5. If We Are Not In Line With The Word, It Is Sin.
When is it ok;
To direct our own steps?
To be bitter?
To slander or gossip?
To be rude or inconsiderate?
To with hold our love?

6. Matthew 7:5  5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

7. Out With The Old In With The New.
The New Idea.
The Old Idea.
Forgive 7 times 70
Forgive like Christ forgave.
Put others needs in front of mine.
Love the many.
God is my protector and defense.
God will supply all my needs.
Protect Unity and seek peace.
Be tolerant and patient with the week.
Christ paid the debt I could not pay.
Broken relationship must be addressed.
Get me once shame on you. Get me twice shame on me.
I can forgive but I can’t forget.
I’ll serve but, what’s in it for me?
Love the few.
If I don’t protect and defend, I’ll lose.
My needs must be met. I will take action to meet them.
There can't be unity until you act right.
I am tolerant, but there are somethings I won't put up with.
I can't let them off the hook until they pay.
It’s better to let sleeping dogs lie.

8. James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Broken Relationship Are Great Opportunities For
The Glorification of God!
