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

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.

Changing the Show Title: Broken and Believing - 50
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brokenness in the Bible is not a curse but a doorway to grace: it teaches us humility, repentance, and dependence on God, opening the way for healing and transformation. • Brokenness as Humility and Repentance Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” This shows that God values a heart that admits weakness and turns back to Him Bible Hub +1. • Brokenness Precedes Renewal The Bible often portrays brokenness as the moment before restoration. Like clay in the potter’s hand, our self-will must be...

Have you ever been caught in the act, rightfully accused of something and later forgiven for it but never healed from it internally? That kind of thinking can influence EVERYTHING.
A righteous God. A holy God. A God so pure that He will not allow sin in his presence. And the same time, a loving God. A sacrificial father. Who has called me to repentance. And before you say, what have you got to repent for, let me confess to you that I am no different than you in the eyes of God. No matter what you think of me, I got issues. I was unable to figure out what my issues were until after a long drive across country last week. 11 hours of driving, in silent contemplation did a lot for my spirit.
I saw something on a billboard that spoke to my heart. I questioned myself, I searched the Scriptures that I was somehow blinded to before. I was convicted. I was hurt. I was grieved.
I have done a lot of a good in my life to overcome the bad I have also done. You ever do that? You accidently steal something and then later try to fix it by giving or blessing someone else. The new person thinks more of you, than you do yourself. This is my personal perception. My world view.
So why was this billboard grievous? I always knew there was something I had done that kept me just off enough to not be blessed by God. He has blessed me, don’t get me wrong, but I have had more things and opportunities than the law should allow, but even with all that, I could tell there was something off with me. And I couldn’t figure it out. Till now. I had a sin, that I was under, I have a part of my personality that I thought I couldn’t change. I am not going to share what that is, but let me give you an example.
If you go to prison, and get out after 40 years, although free you are an EX CONVICT. You will always be and EXCON. Right? You may never commit another crime, and live the best you can, but you will unfortunately always be and EXCON. What is worse than what society throws on you is what you think of yourself.
You won’t, (and I didn’t) think that although forgiven by GOD my mind was still imprisoning me. I am institutionalized to believe my X file is still me. So as a man thinketh, so is he. This wrong thinking steals my joy. It kept me bound.

- Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:19
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
- He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Proverbs 28:13
And rend your heart,
and not your garments,
and turn unto the Lord your God:
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and of great kindness,
and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2:13
