"Redeeming Breakups" (Luke 6:32-36, Romans 12:14-21)

Welcome to the Reformed University Fellowship at UNCW Podcast! Each week, we will post the messages from our RUF Large Group meetings at UNCW. This year, we're going to talk about God sets us free to live wisely, beautifully in his world, redeeming all of our relationships. Whether you are the one doing the breaking up, you are the one who is being broken up with, or you are somehow around in the crazy war zone of a breakup— ending a relationship causes pain and confusion. But the reality is that the Bible gives us incredible resources to deal with the emotional and relational fallout from breakups. It is possible to break up well, and even to break up in love.  This week we look at Romans 12 and Luke 6 to apply the Christian ethic of enemy love to our relational conflicts. (Thanks to Simon Stokes for his assistance with this message)LINKS: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/tim-keller-forgive/https://bibleproject.com/videos/character-of-god-grace/QUOTES: “Forgiveness, then, is a form of voluntary suffering. In forgiving, rather than retaliating, you make a choice to bear the cost.”― Tim Keller“Think of how we feel when we see someone we love ravaged by unwise actions or relationships… Real love stands against the deception, the lie, the sin that destroys ... The fact is… anger isn’t the opposite of love. Hate is, and the final form of hate is indifference.” – Rebecca Pippert“All you are is mean/And a liar, and pathetic/And alone in life, and mean/And mean, and mean/ and mean.” - Taylor Swift
