Sunday's Sermon

Our (Victory Baptist Church) had a guest speaker today for main service.  We have been going through a series of lessons about Whole Emotional Formation.  These are lessons from Souleader Resources.  Today’s sermon was about Relationships or Relational formation.  The speaker, Dr. Jim Grimes, talked about how we form relationships.  Below is a list of the top 10 relational sins that he shared with us.  I found this list on a blog by Steve Saccone.   Let’s just say I have some work to do in my personal relationships.  Please read the list and ask God to help you in your own relationships.   Have a blessed week!

10. Don’t assume your way is always best.

…That usually means it’s not.

9. Don’t give unsolicited advice.

…People prefer to trust you first—they are funny that way.

8. See how long you can go without promoting your self.

…It’s harder than you think.

7. Don’t state the obvious just b/c you don’t have anything profound to say.

…Sometimes silence is golden.

6. Don’t be bossy.

…Remember kindergarten when they taught you,

“No one likes a know-it-all?”

5. Stop avoiding conflict.

…Don’t create it either.

4. Don’t self deprecate for appearance sake.

…That’s what your spouse is for.

3. Don’t TALK more than you DO.

…Actions speak louder than words.

2. Fight the temptation to “one up” someone with a better story than theirs.

…It’s hard to believe, but sometimes people have better stories than you.

1. Don’t appear more engaged than you are.

…We know when you’re faking it.To
