23 Emotions Provide our Greatest Pleasures
24 Emotions Can Also Cause Great Pain What emotions and story are suggested by this scene?
25 Jesus Felt a Wide Range of Emotions Love Anger Compassion Pity Joy Agony Sorrow And yet he was never moved to sin.
26 Not So With Us Sin has corrupted our minds, emotions, and will. We are like computers with defective motherboards. Sometimes the circuits work, sometimes they don t.
27 God Has Redeemed Our Emotions Beholding the glory of the Lord, [we] are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Ephesians 4:30-32
41 Module 3 Relationships Are Inherently Three-Dimensional 6. Practice the SOG Plan Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 42:5-6

44 RW Can Start Anywhere on the Circle In the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted I am so troubled I cannot speak. Then I said, I will appeal to this, to the years of the hand of the Most High. I will remember the deeds of the Lord. Psalm 77:2-11

61 Module 5 The Gospel Transforms Relationships 9. Relational Wisdom Is Inspired by the Gospel He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? (Rom. 8:32 )
62 The Gospel Reconciles Us to God And to One Another The gospel is the good news that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins and rescue us from eternal separation from God, and he rose from the dead to give us new life. Through faith in Jesus, we are reconciled to God, adopted into his family, empowered to love others as he has loved us, and given the gift of enjoying him forever.
63 RW Is an Outpouring of the Gospel He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32
64 Module 5 The Gospel Transforms Relationships 10. The Gospel Penetrates Barriers For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
65 The Gospel Penetrates Barriers What would Jesus say to you if he was here right now?
66 It s So Easy to Bring the Law to Others The law is what we use to tell others how they should live or how they re falling short or better yet, to prove how we are right and they are wrong.
67 Relationships Thrive on the Gospel Christians need other Christians who speak God s Word to them. They need them again and again when they become uncertain and disheartened. They need other Christians as bearers and proclaimers of the divine word of salvation. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

77 The Four G s of Peacemaking The gospel, the foundational G, provides both the model and motivation for peacemaking. Glorify God Get the log out of your eye Gently restore Go and be reconciled
78 Peacemaking Requires a Shift in Focus A key step in peacemaking is to become so God-aware and God-engaging that we are more concerned about glorifying him than we are about vindicating ourselves. Oh Lord, deliver me from this lust of always vindicating myself. St. Augustine
79 See Conflict as an Opportunity to Bring Glory to God The Key GPS Questions How can I please and honor the Lord in this situation? How can I bring praise to Jesus by showing that he has saved me and is changing me?
