WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Every one of us knows what it feels like to love people who don’t always love us back. Some of the deepest wounds don’t come from strangers — they come from kinfolk. People who share our blood but not our values. People who take our time, drain our peace, and expect access without accountability. The Bible does not hide this reality. It speaks honestly about takers, users, manipulators, and relatives who bring strife instead of peace. Today’s message is not about bitterness. It’s about clarity, wisdom, and boundaries that honor God.

Life is Life. Perspective is Everything
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brothers and sisters, we often hear people say, “Life is good” or “Life is hard.” But the truth is—life itself doesn’t change. Life is simply life. You either have it, or you don’t. The labels we put on it—good, bad, hard, joyful—are shaped by our perspective in the moment.

Leave it at the altar
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) I Resolve I resolve… To seek God daily, not just occasionally, To breathe His Word in rhythm, faithfully, relationally. I resolve… To trust His timing, not rush the plan, To wait with patience, resting in His hand. I resolve… To walk in obedience, though the path feels tight, To step through discomfort, still choosing what’s right. I resolve… To guard my mind, my heart, my soul, To keep His Spirit steady, making Him my goal....

Goals: Progress, Not Perfection
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Goal setting is not about perfection — it’s about progress. It’s about moving, step by step, in the direction God is calling you. It’s about aligning your life with His will, His wisdom, and His Word.

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

info_outlineGoing to make you smarter:
The first biblical prophecy and whisper of the need for a Messiah is uttered in Genesis 3:15 after Adam and Eve chose to follow the voice of the deceiver instead of the voice of Truth. The evil one promised that their eyes would be opened, and they would be like God, knowing good and evil...
3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring 1 and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
