In Repair

We all want quick fixes – flex tape for the boat, five-second glue for broken things, and instant solutions for every problem. But what about the things we can't hold in our hands? What about broken relationships, shattered trust, and wounded hearts?

This Sunday we tackled a tough truth: being a Christian means more than just showing up. It means taking ACTION, not just talking about change.

Here's what hit home: Jesus said that harboring anger and unforgiveness in your heart is equal to murder in God's eyes. That's heavy. We're so quick to fix a cracked phone screen or a flat tire, but when it comes to relationships? We'd rather toss them aside or leave them broken because it's easier than having that uncomfortable conversation.

The reality? Your kids are watching. They hear how you talk about people. They see what you're unwilling to fix. And they're learning that this is how Christians operate – and that's not okay.

Three R's to remember:

🔹 REAFFIRM your relationship with God (find 10 minutes before checking your phone)

🔹 RECONCILE your relationship with others (choose one person you need to forgive or seek forgiveness from)

🔹 RESTORE the harm you've caused (identify one specific thing that needs repair)

Being "in repair" isn't comfortable. It requires action. It means admitting when we've messed up. It means having conversations we've been avoiding. But if we want to be the church that changes the world, it starts with fixing what's broken in our own lives first.

Your foundation has to be God. Everything else builds from there. No excuses. Just action.

Who's ready to stop talking and start doing? 💪
