Part 1 of 6 in the series “Getting Out Of The Doghouse”

April 19, 2009 Pastor Scott Oldenburgh

Healthy marriages must learn the value of (grace)

“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Matthew 18:35

All healthy relationships are built on the (foundation) of grace

SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF GRACE

“I’m Sorry”

A healthy marriage must learn the necessity of (reconciliation)

ðSaying “I’m Sorry” doesn’t mean that it’s all (my) fault

ðIt means that the reconciliation process can (begin)

“I Was Wrong”

There is no room in a healthy marriage for (ego) and (pride)

ðHumility doesn’t mean that I am the (weaker) partner

ðIt recognizes that I am not always (right)

“I Forgive You”

A marriage with no (grace) is doomed for failure

ðGrace doesn’t mean you (forget)

ðIt means I (choose) to let it go
