Wait a second! Fences aren't bad...are they??

• Boundaries can be a good gift. The Bible draws key boundaries for many issues, and spiritual wisdom can lead us to develop boundaries.
• “Fences” in this sermon series are topics that divide us or topics we refuse to engage.
• When raising kids or living in culture, we can either draw legalistic, rigid fences, or (a better option) we can develop a strong, biblical foundation to live faithfully in a chaotic world.
• Fences tend to make us reactionary toward issues, unwilling to learn from others, and even quick to demonize those on the other side of the fence.

Building a Foundation

• Foundations promote wisdom, stability, and humility.
• Foundations help us avoid an approach driven by buzzwords or cultural talking points.
• A strong foundation allows us to be discerning, without becoming bitter or antagonistic.
