1 Cor 6:17-20
But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. ESV

John started a series called "Healthy Dating" this week at the Core. Here are a few notes from his talk:
Eph 5:21-25
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her ….. 28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself… 31 As the Scriptures say, "A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife,...

v DESCRIPTION OF MESSAGE TO MASK
We hear different messages throughout our lives, and sometimes certain ones stick. They make us feel something, usually something shameful, and so we end up believing something about ourselves that isn’t true. When we deal with things about ourselves that we want to hide, what do we do? We put up a mask.
v Mask of PERFORMANCE
Ø Message: My dad isn’t excited about a new baby.
Ø Feeling: Rejected.
Ø Belief: I was worthless.
Ø Mask: I...

Verses from Sunday's Core:
2 Cor 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ….

Two Room:
Analogy of the way we live = 2 different rooms
Receive Christ – places you on this path…
Fork in the road – chose one and it leads you to the room of Good intentions (host gives you a mask)
PLEASE GOD PATH – make him happy with me
COME TO THE DOOR: plate that says: “Striving to be all God wants me to be”
I am going to try hard and then I will be able to be intimate with God
OVER THE DOOR KNOB: “self effort” – God helps those who...

Matthew 22:34-41 ESV But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ...

When I started reading Matthew 22:37-40, the second commandment really smacked me in the face. Because even though I've read these verses more times than I can count, I don't know if I've really looked closely at what they say. It says to love your neighbor "as yourself." It could say a million other things, but it says "as yourself." So what's it mean to love the Lord with all that you are, to love yourself and then to love others as a follower of Christ? That's something that I've been...
