Sinkholes: Week Three

In the third week of the "Sinkholes" series, Pastor Nate warns against the attributes that cause sinkholes in our relationships. None of us is perfect, however, as we see, Jesus already modeled for us the antidotes to our relational issues. Keeping secrets erodes relationships, but Jesus never lied so He never had to keep a secret. Forgiveness is something we often struggle with in relationships; that was modeled by Jesus when He died for us even when we didn't deserve it and had mocked Him. And finally selfishness; Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice of laying down His life because He loved us. We may not be perfect, but we have the perfect example. The more we strive to love as Jesus loves, the tighter our relationships will get and the less likely there will be a collapse within one.
