To rightly worship God that worship must find expression in love of neighbor. What are we learning?  Worship = love of God—Vertical  Worship = love of neighbor—Horizontal Four Implications for Marriage: 1. Worship Is visible in Your Marriage. 2. Relational Problems Can Be addressed Through worship. 3. Worship Always changes You. 4. You Can Worship God in the details of Relational interaction. Projects: • Remind yourself that every relational interaction is a test of worship. • Confess and repent not just of your anger or unkindness, but most importantly of your false worship. • If you really want to change, ask your spouse to help you. Ask them daily if you’ve shown a worship disorder in the last 24 hours. • Suggested Resource: Brad Bigney, Gospel Treason: Betraying the Gospel with Hidden Idols (Phillipsburg, N.J.: P&R Publishing, 2012).

Big Idea: You must be a generous forgiver. Christ calls for Generous Forgiveness (18:21-22) Because It’s Inevitable that You Will Be sinned against (18:21) Because Your tendency Is to limit Your Forgiveness (18:22) You Have experienced Generous Forgiveness (18:23-27) The Slave Had an un-payable debt(18:23-25). The King Had an unexpected response. When You Don’t, You Become the example of miserly Forgiveness (18:28-30) He forgot His Forgiveness—He Was ungrateful (18:28). He exaggerated The Sin Against Him—He Was proud (18:28). He Demanded More than repentance—He Was vengeful (18:29-30). When You Do, You actually Your Genuine salvation (18:31-35) Those that Have received mercy Should Be Most merciful (18:31-34). Those that Don’t forgive Should question If They’ve Been forgiven (18:35). Forgiveness is a promise not to bring up to their face, not to bring it up behind their back, and not to dwell on it. Projects: • Commit to forgiving as soon

Big Idea: You must overcome evil with good

Big Idea: You must get better at humbly admitting your sin. Because God’s essence is light (1:5). Because Our Sin separates Us From God (1:6, 8, 10) My Sin Doesn’t matter - We lie (1:6) It’s possible to claim fellowship with God when there is no fellowship with God. I Don’t sin—We deceive Ourselves (1:8) It’s possible to believe everything is okay when it’s not. I’ve never Sinned—We Make God A liar (1:10) It’s possible to believe you don’t need the Gospel when you do. Because Maintaining fellowship Is Our responsibility (1:7, 9, 2:1-2) We Must Live In The light (1:6-7) We Must Regularly confess Sin (1:9) We Must Live obediently (2:1-2) Projects: • Confess and forsake your sin regularly. • Deal with something in your past. • Ask your wife for forgiveness. • Suggested Resources: o Paul Tripp, Sex & Money: Pleasures That Leave You Empty and Grace That Satisfies (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2013). o kr
