Connecting With People Again | Week #4
If we have a responsibility to work towards reconciliation, how long do we do that for? What if the other person isn't doing their part? What if their actions are causing collateral damage in the lives of those around them? When is enough, enough? Join us for part four as we look at a helpful way to set up boundaries to love everyone. You can join us in-person outside on our campus or online each Sunday at 10:00am through http://www.nlnc.online.church!

Boundaries
By Henry Cloud & John Townsend
By Henry Cloud & John Townsend
A burden is anything that is too big for one person to carry alone.
I should not ask you to help me carry something that I’m not carrying.
I should not ask you to help me carry something that I’m not carrying.
burden | load
burden = boulder
load = backpack
We are responsible to help carry each other's burdens and for carrying our own load.
When we carry our load, we experience the outcomes of our decisions.
At times, unconditional love necessitates conditional help.
