Episode Date: February 24, 2019

There’s a lot more that goes into a healthy relationship than what shows ... Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hey, Life Church, we're so excited you're here with us today. We also want to make sure you know how to stay up to date with all the things God is doing through Live Church. And let me just tell you, it's a whole lot. It's simple to do. Just download the Life Church app. You can do that wherever you download your apps from. But for now, though, we want to get you to Pastor Craig Groschelle's message for this week. Well, it's great to have you with us today, all of our Life Churches.

We are talking about relationships. We're preparing for future relationships and we're building our current ones. I'm just curious at all of our different churches. How many of you are married? You're married, raised up your hands, raised. Those of you that are not married, but you wouldn't mind if God brought you Mr. or Mrs. Wright one day, raised up your hands right now. Why don't you leave them up for a second?

Leave them up all of our campuses. Leave them up. Hi. Hi, and proud. Why don't you just scan the room right now and just take a look around? Maybe your eyes might meet someone and you might have a little spiritual power. Who knows what happens? You might come to church and get a little Jesus and a little more.

You never know what might happen. We are in a message series that's called Relationship Goals. There's somewhere around 11 million different times on Instagram that someone has used the hashtag, Relationship Goals. It's usually some couple in a very unusual pose, and everyone else says, oh, I want to have a relationship like that. That's not real. That was posed, and it took them 17 attempts to get that photo.

What we want to do is we want to talk about real goals. But speaking of social media, I did go online, and I did go online. I found a few images that no one ever says, I want to have something like this. In fact, maybe you can relate. Some of you might be able to relate to this lady who says this. Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by your own taste in men. Just looking at that lady, I can tell she has been victimized by her own taste in men.

I don't know why I said that. I like this next one here. This is when you have to stop your best friend from getting into a, wrong relationship. Some of you, you need to do this. You need to be on top of the box. Someone else, you need to be in the box in the name of Jesus. And then remember, remember, never, ever forget this.

You are always one bad relationship away from having 30 cats. Do not forget it. Be very careful. Who you spend your time with matters. Bad company corrupts, good character, scripture says. Not all relationships are good. When we talk about relationship goals, no one ever starts out and says, I want to have a really bad relationship. Nobody does that. There's a young lady in my office and she's getting married in the upcoming weeks. She did not say, I want to buy so many shiny things. I want to get all sorts of things we cannot afford so that a few years later will always fight about money. No one ever says that's a goal and yet people end up there all the time. I don't know anyone who's ever said, I hope to become a raging porn addict. I want to have uncontrollable lusts and no real intimacy in real life. I don't know

anyone who ever says that. I don't know anyone who says, I have a goal to start with small lies. Everybody lies a little bit. Then I want to graduate to medium-sized lives. Then one day I want to excel with really big lies. I want to live a lie so I can crush the person that I say I love forever. Nobody ever does that, but people end up there all the time. Let's not be so dramatic. I don't know anyone who says, hashtag relationship goals. I want to just kind of get busy. Neglect my spouse. Maybe it's with the kids.

Maybe it's with my career. Maybe it's with the house. Maybe it's with a hobby. But if I can just get so involved somewhere else, we'll wake up one day when the kids are growing and we're going to look at each other and say, who are you and why are we still even married? We feel more like roommates.

No one ever says that. And yet people end up there all the time. That's why in this message series, we're not going into relationships accidentally. If you hope to be married one day, we're not just wandering into a relationship, hoping to fall in love, we're actually doing what's right to lead us up into a relationship that would honor God in every single way. So we have four goals that will lead to a better place. If you want something different, you have to do something different.

I'm offering you four relationship goals that I believe will help give you the foundation for the types of relationships that are good. God wants you to have. If you remember from week number one, what are we? I'm going to say it. Then you can say it with me. Week number one, we talked about being Christ centered. What are we? We are Christ centered. Week two, we talked about being mission driven. What are we? We are mission driven. Today we're going to talk about being devil kicking. Say it with me. We are devil kicking. And next week we're going to talk about being covenant keeping. What are we? We are covenant keeping. Who are we and what are our goals? We are crystal clear. We know where we're going without a vision. We have a vision.

We are going to be Christ-centered, mission-driven, devil-kicking, covenant-keeping. All of our churches, it's no fun without you. Say it with me. What are we? We are Christ-centered, mission-driven, devil-kicking, covenant-keeping. Today, we're going to talk about being devil-kicking in our relationships, standing together against the schemes of the evil. Why are we talking about this?

We need to understand and never forget that. that we have a spiritual enemy who hates God and hates everything that matters to God, and that includes you. In fact, Paul said this in Ephesians chapter 6, verses 11 and 12. He told us to put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all the strategies of the devil. Can you imagine the Father of Lice, the Prince of Darkness, and all the demons in hell scheming against you, looking for where you're weak, looking for where you're vulnerable, studying your marriage, your relationships trying to get in to devour, to kill, and to destroy.

Paul said this. He said, we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies. In other words, your spouse is not your enemy. But instead, we're fighting against evil rulers and authorities of the unseed world. against mighty powers in this dark world. What do we know? Whatever God blesses, the devil curses. Whatever God loves, the devil attacks.

If you ever find yourself struggling in a relationship, you're frustrated, you're angry, you're afraid, you're resentful, you're hurting, you're losing trust. Remember, your spouse is not your enemy. You're fighting against spiritual forces of this dark, world scheming to hurt you. Imagine this. Imagine that you get an alert on your phone that says nearby a criminal broke out of a local prison and is coming for you. This person's been targeting you. They've been stalking you on social media. They know where you live. They hate your guts.

They hate your children. They want to break in. They want to destroy your house. They want to rob you of your belongings, they want to hurt everything that matters to you, including your children. What would you do? You would be so on guard is ridiculous. Let me tell you, you may be all peace loving and a pacifist and all this kind of stuff, but you're putting a security system on your house, you're getting some motion detector lights, you're going to get a dog that bites, you're going to tell your neighbors, you're going to be on guard, you're going to warn your kids, you're going to be praying. You might have a weapon. It might be one that shoots, one that swings, one that stabs, one that hits. I don't know what your theology of weapons is, but you're going to be ready,

if someone comes in to take what is yours and hurt those you love, you're going to be on your guard. In fact, Peter said this. Peter told us to stay alert and watch out for your great enemy, the devil. Why? Because he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. What if I edited it just a little bit and said, watch out your enemy, rouse around like a roar and lying, looking for marriages to devour.

One thing we know about the devil is he never announces his intentions to attack. He never says, warning, I'm coming. In other words, hey, you're doing so good. You guys are so blessed and you're doing great. So warning, I'm coming to destroy your life. He's the father of lies, and he always attacks in some form. of one of two different ways. How does the devil attack? The devil often attacks with distractions and with seductions, with distractions, let's talk about distractions for a moment. If it was Eve

in the Garden of Eden being distracted by the serpent, he says, don't you want this piece of fruit? If it was King Solomon, who loves God but who's distracted trying to please people instead of pleasing the heart of God. If it's Judas, who's walking with Jesus and is distracted by a love of money instead of a love for his Savior, Satan attacks with distractions. In fact, there's a powerful little verse in the Old Testament where Solomon was pursuing the Shulamite woman, his beloved one, and there's this little book called Song of Songs or Song of Solomon that's kind of like, I mean, there's a lot of romance in that book. If you're not over 18, you probably shouldn't read that book, if I'm just, don't I'm saying.

And Solomon's complimenting his girl, and he's using compliments you should never use. He says your hair is like a flock of goats. He says, you're next like the Tower of David, okay? You know, I told Amy that, like, your legs are like, you know, nine foot poles. And I didn't go good. You know, I didn't say that. But you don't, don't do that. But then his tone changes, and he gets really, really serious.

and he says to his bride, he says, catch for us the foxes. Everybody say the foxes. The little foxes that ruin the vineyards are vineyards that are in bloom. What do the foxes do? Well, the foxes would go in and they would eat the blossoms,

so the blossoms would never fall, so you'd never ever have a grape. What was he saying? You've got to watch out for the little foxes that seem harmless, that are barely even noticed, that nobody really ever talks about, but if they go unchecked, they will destroy the entire harvest. What does our enemy do? He tries to distract you with little foxes, not big, obvious things,

but little things that someone else might not even notice, might not pay attention to. I don't know how it might be for you, but perhaps the devil tries to distract you with a little fox of comparison. Your husband isn't romantic like that guy? He doesn't end take you out anywhere. There's no real intimate connection, but oh, that guy at work, he really knows how to carry a conversation, and he likes to connect with you in a way that is so meaningful. Maybe it's little things, nitpicky things. I mean, ridiculously small things, meaningless thing, insignificant things.

I don't like the way you drive. I don't like the way you walk. I don't like the way you chew. And the other day, Amy said, I don't like the way you're breathing. True story. Right? Did you say it? True story.

I don't like the way you're breathing. So I just stopped. I don't like the way you're breathing. You're a real person too, pastor. Yes, I am. And I'm married to one too. Maybe it's fights over money. You've got no plan, no vision, no direction, and you're always fighting.

Maybe one is controlling, one is critical, nitpicking the other's passive, resistance, barely even engages. The bottom line is this. The devil knows where you're vulnerable. He'll attack whatever triggers your anger, your fear, your insecurities. He'll tell you, well, you're not compatible. I mean, you've probably made a mistake. This obviously isn't God's will for you. What does he do? He attacks with little distractions, little things to take you off track and bring division because the devil hates what God loves. The devil also uses seductions, sexual temptation to take us away from God's plan. In fact, I read an article this week that said,

now 60% of divorces cite pornography as a contributing factor to the divorce. 60% of the divorces today. Perhaps that's one reason why Ephesians 5-3 is as important today as it ever has been. This is what Paul said. He said, but among you, there must not be even a hint. Somebody say not a hint. He said, there must not even be a hint of sexual immorality or any kind of impurity. Not even a hint of sexual impurity.

We don't want to open up the door in any way for the darkness to come in. We'll play a little game just for fun because I think a lot of people, people have really lowered their standards on what is purity in the world we live in today. So I'll just give you some scenarios, and you can kind of tell me if you think there might be a hint of sexual immorality or impurity. For example, if you, like, lie to your spouse and go on and have raging hot sex with someone you met online, would there be a hint of immorality in that? Yeah, I think so. That's pretty obvious. What if you just watch porn on your phone? Just once or twice a week? Would there be a hint to them? What if instead, you're not going to watch porn,

but you're just going to watch some inappropriate Netflix original content. You know, not showing everything, just little stuff under the blankets and a little, or whatever they're doing, okay? Would that be? Would it be a hint in that? Okay. What about dressing provocatively in a way that might draw attention? What about posting immodest photos on social media?

Hashtag blessed? Whatever, you know, okay? I don't know what just happened, but what about having maybe borderline inappropriate conversations with someone that you shouldn't be having. Would there be anything like that? Listen to me. Listen to God. Not a hint. Not a hint.

I'm not going to keep that door cracked. I want to keep that door slam shut. We're devil kicking. We're not tolerating any type of darkness. No impurity. What's impurity? Impurity is poison, right? Imagine there's like a line, and this is like this is the sinful line.

And on the other side's poison. Like let's say poisonous snakes. Ah, I hate poisonous snakes. Poisonous dark, whatever. Hot lava, whatever's dangerous. Okay. If I'm going to get over here and there's a copperhead on the other side and if I step across that line I'm vulnerable,

where do you think I'm going to stand? Okay? I'm going to stay way far away from it. Why is it that so often we want to see how close we can get to the line, when the closer we get to the line, the more vulnerable we are? I think this is one of the reasons why Solomon said this. He said in Proverbs 4 verse 14 and 15, don't set foot on the path of the wicked.

Not even a foot on that path or walk in the way of evildoers. He said, avoid it, don't travel on it, turn from it, go your own. way. If you didn't hear me the first time, I'll say it in four different ways. Avoid it. Don't travel on it. Turn from it. Go your own way. In other words, we're going to distance ourselves from anything that might compromise any part of us that would therefore hurt our marriage. If we're vulnerable to looking at something on the phone, we're going to limit our access to what we can look at on the phone. If there's a person that we shouldn't be engaging with, we're certainly not going to go have a lunch alone with person. In fact, in my world, I'm not going to engage with a person of the opposite sex in any type of

intimate environment whatsoever. If we have a person at work that we find ourselves connecting emotionally with, we're going to ask to be transferred to another department. If we can't get transferred to another department, we're going to find another job because we're not going to let someone hurt us or take us off track. If we go to the gym and we find ourselves visually vulnerable or relationally vulnerable, we're going to work out at home. If we look on hashtags on Instagram that take us to places to see things we shouldn't see, then we may not have Instagram. What we're going to do is we're going to distance ourselves in any and every way

from anything that could harm us or bring an attack on our marriage because we're not even going to have a hint of anything that could dishonor God. You may say, well, that's kind of crazy, man. Why would you be so into that? What I always try to tell myself is this. Why in the world would I fight a temptation in the future if I have the power to eliminate it today? Oh, my goodness, I'm preaching so much better.

Then you're responded. Why am I going to leave a door open that I have a power to lock today? I'm not going to fight something in the future. If I can eliminate it today, I'm not going to go close to the lines. Scripture says not even a hint. The devil's coming for you. And he wants you to compromise in even the smallest ways. Now, what I know right now is there's probably two different extremes of people.

There's one extreme that says, well, Master Craig, you're going a little overboard there. I mean, don't even have lunch with somebody. me like, that's, that's this, I's ridiculously. Then there's another side on the extreme that said, you have no idea how messed up I am. I am so caught, I can't get out. The good news for both extremes is, Paul talks to both at the same time in 1st Corinthians chapter 10, and he says this, to the first ones who you know you're never going to find any danger, he says, be careful.

If you think you're standing firm, be careful that you don't fall. Pride comes before a fall. To the one who says, I'm starting. and I can't get out. He says, he says, no temptation is overtaken you except what is common to mankind. Here's a good news. Our God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, listen to me, church, our God will give you a way out. You're not here by accident today. You're here because our God wants to give you a way out. Now, those of you that are not married, you might be thinking, well, this is an easy message to sit through while you beat up there on the married people.

There's nothing for me here. No, no, no, no, no. Listen to me. Devil attacks you all the time. It attacks us all. He wants to distract and to seduce. And some of you, you've been distracted from your first love. If you were really, really honest, you're not pursuing Jesus in your heart.

You pursue him today. Some of you, you've kind of just said, hey, once I'm not. I'm married later on the future, then I'm going to live on the straight and narrow, then I'm going to be kind of a whole bit. Right now, I got my knees, you know, and I got to get that thing going or whatever it is. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What you do today matters. Who you are today is shaping your future.

Just like I said a couple of weeks ago, you don't build a life of righteousness in the future on a foundation of sin today. Let me say it again. Hear it, feel it, own it, internalize it. You don't build a life of righteousness in the future on a foundation of sin today. Not a hint. Whenever I'm tempted to compromise, to do something that could damage my marriage, hurt, the future of my ministry, some seduction, some temptation.

What I always try to do is I always try to play it forward and just visualize what it would cost. Visualize the destruction. And what I know is, first, I will have to stand before God one day and give an account of what I've done. I know that I would hurt thousands of people, you, my family, my sister, my family, my staff, my friends, I would disappoint them. I know that my God would forgive me, but I would never have the trust from people again that I enjoy today. Not to say, God, I can't pick up the pieces, but it would cost me a lot. I would crush my children who know firsthand, but I'm not perfect, but who do believe that I have a heart that seeks after God. And I would devastate

my best friend, my bride, the woman that has given me six children, and has sacrificed more than I could ever publicly or privately express. The devil will attack your relationships. So what we have to do is we have to be alert. We have to be ready. We have to be prepared. So I've got one question for you today. And I want you to be prepared to discuss this.

Discuss it with your spouse. Discuss it with your life group. Discuss this. Answer honestly. If you're married, it'll go like this. In our marriage, where are we currently most vulnerable to spiritual attacks? Where are we most vulnerable? If you're not married, just make it singular.

Where am I most vulnerable to spiritual attacks? and you have to be honest because you are only as strong as you are honest. Whatever God blesses, the devil curses. Whatever God loves, the devil hates. In week number one, we talked about being Christ-centered. And in that week, I asked, invited all of you, if you're married, to pray every single day. 30-second prayer every day. together we honor God we seek him when you're under attack and most of us are under attack most of the time

in one way or another you'll want to turn up the intensity of the prayers you'll want to join hands together and seek God together you'll want to quote some scripture and therefore you need to know some scripture because you see the weapons that we fight with are not the weapons of this world the weapons that we fight with the word of god says they have power to demolish strongholds we have one offensive weapon it's called the sword of the spirit which is the word of god and you'll want to draw that sword to fight back against the attacks of the evil one and you want to say no weapon formed against my marriage will prosper and you want to declare it boldly greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world and you want to be able to say that we in our marriage together

standing together. We are more than conquerors. We are overcomers by the blood of the lamb and by the words of our testimony. And we stand strong together. And we don't fight against each other. We fight on the same side of the table against the forces of darkness. It is worth it. It is worth it. It is worth it. And I know right now, unfortunately, and I know it experientially, and I can see it in some people's eyes. there are some of you you are married and you are fighting for it and your spouse is not as engaged. I want to take just a moment and talk to the one who might be a little more passive or even even a little more rebellious right now to the females.

And I say this gently. If you're tempted to criticize, tempted to be resentful, tempted to be angry gossip, whatever it is, you might have every right to, but I want to just encourage you. As best as you can, turn that energy to prayer. to truly invoke the power and the presence of God. And then in any way that you can, anytime you see anything remotely good,

draw that out rather than tearing down, build up. If there's any part of you that believes in anything in that man, tell him, I still believe in you. If you have to, if he's a Christian and you won't even believe in his flesh, just say, I believe in Christ in you. And then help him understand. I still believe in us and watch as something may come alive inside of him. To the men, I'm not going to be so nice to you.

You do all that, but if you're passive, dude, get up off your butt and be a man. I'm telling you, lead your family to Christ. Lead your family to Christ. You've got it in you. It's wired in you. You can do it. You're a fighter. You don't give up.

Lead them, fight for them, bring them to church. You're a man of God. Serve together. Go call a counselor. Oh, that's a weak, man. Yeah, when we're weak, his strength is made perfect in us. Fight for it. Let me tell you what I know about you, men.

Someone comes into my house to break in and hurt people. Here's what I am not doing. I am not saying, Amy, go defend us. I'm scared of hiding under the bed. There's not a man in here who would do this. What you're going to do is you're going to turn a lamp into a weapon. You're suddenly a lamp nunshuck artist. You're going to fight in your tidy, witty underwear and defend your house. You will stand up for those you love. What I know about you,

men, you're wired to give your life. You will die for the people that you love. God didn't ask you to die for them. He just asked you to live for them. Just live for them. and I know there's a million exceptions and everybody's got the but you don't know my yes yes yes yes and yes and yes yes and yes yes yes and yes yes and yes and yes and yes and yes and yes and yes together and it takes two and if you are Christ centered and you're not about you but you're on a mission you're mission driven and you kick the enemy hard and you honor the covenant at vows. You can heal and you can't overcome. One of my favorite things about the weekend is I watch

everybody in the front rows. I'm watching you. Those of you on Broken Arrow in Wellington, you're safe. I can't see you. But in the spirit, I can see you. And I love to watch the people worship, and I've got some of my favorites. One of my favorites is this couple. And if you saw them, you'd be like, hashtag relationship goals. Guys, kind of handsome, wife's attracted. They're a nice-looking. couple and he stands there worship all the time and he just lifts up his hand to worship God. And his bride stands right on this arm and she puts her arms around like this. She just holds on to him like this. And if you looked on, you'd say like, I want that.

I want that. Good business, good family, good kids, hashtag relationship goals. What I love about him is I know the backstory. And the backstory is as complicated as it gets. What I know is they're both on a second marriage. with blended families, and all the pain and challenges that come with that. I know the financial attacks they've endured.

I know the physical attacks they've endured. I know the relational hell that they've been through. I know the people that don't like them and criticize what they do. I know the marital challenges that they've had. And what I love about this couple is this. Just like everybody else, they get attacked. But they don't turn it on each other. They stand together.

strong. And say, devil, not today. Not my house. Not my family. Not my kids. Because what you need to understand, enemy, is what we are, is we are Christ sinner. We are mission driven. We are devil kicking and we are covenant keeping. Somebody in the church, help me out. What are we? We are Christ-centered, mission driven, devil-kicking covenant keeping. It will be hard. It will be hard. It will take work, it will take prayer, it will take tears, it will take repentance, it will take forgiveness, but it is possible because what God blesses the devil attacks, but greater is he who is in you than he that is in the world. If you believe it, would you give God some praise today? All of our churches, let's join our hearts together in prayer. Father, empower us with your weapons to do warfare your way

All of our churches, as you're praying today, those of you, no matter what your relational status, that you recognize that we live in a spiritual battle, it's not a battle in the future, it's a battle in the presence, is happening right now. And you want the power of God's spirit to do battle, God's way and God's timing with his weapons for his purposes. Would you lift up your hands right now? Just lift them high. Lift them high. Go ahead and put them down, if you will. I'm going to pray over you and that I'm going to pray very specifically for some of you. Father, give us the power of your word, the indwelling, truth, and life-changing power of your Holy Spirit. God, I pray especially for those who have lost hope and what's possible. God, for those who've been burned, hurt, that even the idea of

believing that we could have something special seems like too big of a dream and an impossibility for them. God, we thank you that more than anything else, we can't have a great relationship with you. That we don't need a person to make us complete. God, that we are complete in Christ. But when you see, God, that we could serve you even better with someone else and you bless us with that someone else, we'll give you praise, God, and we will be Christ-centered. We will not be about us, but we'll be mission driven. We'll kick the enemy out of anywhere he tries to come into, and God will honor the covenant that we made with you. God, I pray for hurting marriages. God, I pray for broken people. God, where there seems like sin too great to forgive, we thank you

that your grace is greater than anything we could imagine. We pray for miracles. We pray for restoration. We pray for healing. God, we ask you. We ask for for forgiveness where we've gone astray. We thank you for your grace, that when we confess our sins, God, you are faithful and just to forgive all of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As you keep praying today,

nobody looking around at all of our different churches. Would you believe it if I told you that our God loves you so much? He's been trying to get your attention to draw you to him for your whole life. You've seen it in many many different ways. heard it in a song, saw it in a sunrise, felt his presence one time at church. But our enemy is doing everything he can to keep you from living in the fullness of life in Christ.

Distracting you, shiny things, distracting you, sinful things, distracting you with seduction, the things of this world, the love of this life. Who is Jesus? Jesus is the sinless son of God who is perfect in every way. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to Lamb of God who shed his blood on a cross to forget. our sins. God raised him from the dead so that anyone, and listen, this includes you, doesn't matter what you've done, how dark your life is, how bad you feel. Anyone who calls on the name of Jesus would be saved, would be forgiven. There are those of you at all of our churches.

You can sense that you're here for a bigger purpose. You can sense that there's another reason that you're not here by accident. You're not watching on a computer just because by chance, but you're here for a divine purpose. Let me tell you what's going to happen. You have a spiritual enemy is going to say, nah, don't go there. Don't go there. You've got a choice. You've got a choice to surrender to the lordship of the one who gave his life for you or to continue on with life without him. I believe with all my heart that the light of Jesus is shining brightly into your life and that you can sense his love and you want his grace and you want his life. At all of our churches, those who say, I need him. When you turn from your sins and turn to

toward him and call on him. He forgives all of your sins. He makes you new. That's why you're here today. You can sense it. Your life is no longer your own. You're going to be Christ-centered.
