The Common Denominator

Relationships are one of God’s greatest gifts—and often one of our greatest frustrations. In Part 1 of our “It’s Complicated” series, Pastor Joel looks at Matthew 7:1–6 and shows why the common denominator in all our relationships is us.

We talk about the “log in our own eye,” the baggage we carry (rejection, betrayal, hurt), and how that baggage affects friendships, dating, marriage, and “situationships.” You’ll learn:

- Why the quality of your closest relationships shapes your future  

- The difference between judging people and setting healthy boundaries  

- How forgiving others actually sets *you* free  

This message will help you let God work in you so you can become a gift—not more baggage—in every relationship.
