Let’s Talk Relationships with Ps Nick and Meredith Resce

Message Overview:

We have been created for relationship with God and with people. Our relationships can be broad and wide: family, marriage, parenting, friends, work colleagues, church community. The reality is that relationships can be both beautiful and painful. Ps Nick and Meredith shared with us that we each carry insecurity, immaturity and brokenness whether we realise it or not and we each bring these into our relationships with one another.

Becoming aware of our insecurity, immaturity and brokenness is the first step. Working through them is a life time journey of discipleship which we are all on. The good news is that Jesus desires for us to be whole and healthy. This happens through the work of the Holy Spirit, healthy Church community and taking some intentional and practical steps.

Ps Nick and Meredith shared that Gods desire is not that we would be just be healthy spiritually, but we would be healthy across all areas of our lives. They introduced some practical and holistic ‘pillars’ to help us become self aware and grow in our wholeness. These are Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Relational and Financial. We were encouraged to pause once per month and mark out of 10 how you are going in each of these areas, find someone who you can chat to about how you are going and consider practical steps to address areas which may be on the lower side.

Some questions for you to consider are below:

1. Physical

- Am I treating my body as a temple of the Holy Spirit in how I use my body and what I consume?

- Am I am able to serve God well physically?

- Mark out of 10 how you are feeling physically. If it is below a 7, what changes do you need to make?

2. Emotional

- Am I experiencing any extreme emotions often such as anxiety, anger, sadness. If so, why do you think this is?

- Am I able to process the emotions I am experiencing appropriately?

- Do my emotions negatively impact the lives of those around me?

- Mark out of 10 how you are feeling emotionally. If it is below a 7, what do you need to do?

3. Spiritual

- Am I in a regular rhythm of connecting with God through prayer, Bible reading and worship?

- Am I in a regular rhythm of connecting with other believers to encourage and be encouraged in my faith e.g Sunday Church and mid-week Small Group

- Am I confident and secure in my identity as a Child of God?

- Mark out of 10 how you are feeling spiritually. If it is below a 7, what do you need to do?

4. Relational

- Am I enjoying the relationships I have in my life?

- Do I have clear and appropriate boundaries where needed?

- Am I am experiencing a good balance in being able to contribute as well as receive in the relationships I have?

- Mark out of 10 how you are feeling relationally. If it is below a 7, what do you need to do?

5. Financial

- Am I stewarding well what God has given to me through budgeting?

- Am I able to enjoy the finances in my life through giving, saving and spending?

- Mark out of 10 how you are feeling financially. If it is below a 7, what do you need to do?

Take some time to discuss this with your group or someone you trust to support you in these areas.
