HEAVENLY RELATIONSHIPS

Part 2 of Series: GLIMPSE – Experiencing Heaven on Earth

Aug. 7th & 8th, 2010 Pastor Kerry Shook

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already
laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation
using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will
be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will
be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's
work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it
is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only
as one escaping through the flames.”
1 Cor. 3:11-15 (NIV)

Every relationship goes through…

• The fire of culture
• The fire of change
• The fire of failure

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the

greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor. 13:13 (NLT)

2. BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ON

HOPE
“This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his
love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's
gift to us.”
Rom. 5:5 (TEV)

“Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of

materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13 But on
the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each
builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has
any value.”
1 Cor. 3:12, 13 (NLT)

3. BUILD YOUR LIFE ON LOVE

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor
as yourself.'” Matt. 22:37-39 (NIV)
• Love is a lasting choice

• Love is a lasting action

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is

unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is
eternal.”
2 Cor. 4:18 (NIV)
