What Are We, Part 1
Pastor Scott Thomas shares an insightful message about understanding relationships through a Christian perspective, emphasizing that before we can define any relationship ("What are we?"), we must first understand our individual purpose and relationship with God. He outlines three key elements that help identify and strengthen relationships: commitment to Christ as the foundation, active pursuit of spiritual growth together, and surrounding ourselves with a supportive Christian community. Throughout the message, Pastor Scott emphasizes that true purpose and fulfilling relationships can only be built when Jesus is at the center, with all other aspects of life - including dating and marriage - flowing from that primary relationship.

Until then, check out this message. We are kicking off a series called What Are We? It's February, it's relationship time, and so we're gonna talk about that. How do you know that's a loaded question? If you never had anybody ask you that, well then just take my word for it, it's a loaded question. It identifies and defines. Identifies and defines relationships. Every relationship needs to be defined. If you don't know what the relationship is for, then you verge on abusing that relationship. You've got to identify it, parental relationship. Sometimes you gotta notify your kids, define that. My goal is not to be your friend, my goal is to raise you in the right way. Some days you will not like me, that's okay, I love you.
God bless you, amen, now eat your peas, right? So you gotta have, you gotta define friendships. You gotta define the authority, you gotta know the roles that you play, certainly in dating, certainly in marriage. We need to know what those are, it's a clarifying question. It gives purpose, it gives direction, it defines roles that are to be played, it creates expectations, boundaries, how we're going to communicate, how we treat other people. All of these things change based on the definition of the relationship, what are we? When Caleb and Liz were dating, Caleb had brought Elizabeth over to the house several times and we like fell in love with Liz. And so I had a very clarifying conversation with my son. And I said, we need to talk. And he went, what's up? And I said, you need to understand something, do not screw this up. I had to notify him, we have decided that we like her more than you. If you mess this up, we're moving you out and moving her in, do you understand? We just need to get all that clear right now. We had to clarify, in fact, it is funny, I mean, we did have that conversation, by the way, but all that being said, they were over at the house, had been, I don't know how many times they'd been there,
but Liz was settling into our heart. I think we were settling into her heart, something like that. We're like fungus, we grow on people. And so as she was settling in with her, they were leaving the house one night, got out to the vehicle and Liz looked at Caleb and she goes, okay, I need to know something. What are we? Because she needed to know, is this going any further? How much am I to lean into this? How much weight do I put on this that we're sharing? What's your perspective? I'll share with you mine. It's crazy important to clarify your relationships in your dating or for dating couples and for married couples. We're gonna talk about this today, three keys to identifying what are we. It's important to have this, but before I get to the three keys, I need to make sure that you understand that we need to understand the me before we try to handle the we. I'll get to the what are we in just a minute, but I need to ask you a question, who are you? Because you gotta get you defined before you try to get the we defined. Because if you don't know the I in the middle of the we, that means somebody else is gonna run your life for the rest of your life.
You gotta know who you are and you need to know especially who you're not. And this identification, having these boundaries, these borders, these things set up are healthy for your heart and for your life. If I don't get me right, then I'll never get we right. And so we've gotta put this in context because it's possible that if I don't have me down right, I start making wrong expectations of you. Now because I'm not sure who I am, I'm expecting you to make me happy. I expected you to do this, do this, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and I'm expecting things out of you that you were never intended to fulfill in my life. And now here I'm crying, I'm mad, I'm pointing the finger, I'm blaming, there's all kinds of drama in the place and I'm the victim. And like, no, you just crazy. You just, that's all, you're just crazy. Cause no. one could do that. You got to know you so that you can actually have some health going forward. So here's the question. Why are you here? Why are you here? What is the purpose of you here in 2000? Why weren't you born in the 1700s? Okay, we just thank God that we weren't born in the 1700s. I was born in the 1900s. But what, what, why, why here? Why now? The Bible tells me you're, you're, you're made in the image of God. You're fearfully and wonderfully made. The Bible tells me in the book of Psalm chapter 8 that you've been crowned with glory and honor. You've got talents, gifts, and abilities that have been wired inside of you. How you see things, your perspective, all of that is such a God-ordained thing
and the world was missing something until you got here. God saw a deficit and you were the answer he put up inside this world. He didn't put you here to be common. He didn't put you to here, put you here to be another. He put you here to be unique. And identifying who you are and where you're supposed to go and what you're supposed to do, it's going to make you different on purpose. You need to get used to being different. This is God's Word. It has to do with purpose in your life. Purpose is the reason that something exists. You need to identify that before you start asking questions of who are we. I need to identify who am I. That is foundational to this. There's, there's a lot of folks that have attempted to identify that purpose, that reason for existence through a lot of things, through, through money, through, through notoriety. I'll build, I'll build my name in business. We try a lot of things in order to fulfill this empty spot, but the truth is only purpose will fulfill that, and that stuff is not purpose. It's a byproduct of purpose. It's not purpose itself. Nothing wrong with that stuff. But if that's what you're looking at to fulfill you, it's always going to come up empty. Do you know there's so many people that have the money, they have the businesses, they have the notoriety, they have it all, and they're still as empty as they can be. They can't sleep at night. The relationships are falling apart. They would trade it all right now for one night's sleep. Do you understand that we need to look at their lives and let's learn something. You don't have to make all the mistakes yourself. You can actually learn from a mentor. And so let's look at lives. You want, you want to go Bible? The guy named King Solomon. King Solomon. This is David's son, King David's son. God approached Solomon one day and said, Solomon, what do you want from me? How do you like the idea of God giving you a blank check and asking you to fill that in? Here's just what do you want? Solomon, I want wisdom so I can lead your people. God said, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Not only did you get the behind the door number three, he like, he gave him every door. I'll give you the wisdom and with it comes everything else. And God loaded him down. Solomon began to gain so many things. He had this crazy acumen for
knowing how to run life. Business guy, amazing. He owned the entire international trade route throughout the Levant that goes around the Mediterranean all the way through Israel, went up into Mesopotamia, down through Egypt, into Africa. He set up toll booth stations through all of that area that if you're going to work this trade route with anything you have, you got to pay the price on every location. He was amassing wealth so that when he built God a temple, he lined the walls with gold. Billions he put into building God a temple. Billions. The man had money, he had business acumen, he was over the top. So much so that the Queen of Sheba, she goes, I got to go see this man, hey. And so she comes all the way up from Africa, I got to go see this man's wealth, I got to see how he does stuff. And she was like blown away, shocked, looking at everything. She said the half hasn't even been told how amazing this is. He's got all this going. King Solomon, listen, oh y'all, no, it's just relation. He had 700 wives and 300 side pieces. Do you hear what I'm telling you? He had a thousand women he was trying to keep up with. That was not wisdom. That was not wisdom right there. I got one Puerto Rican, y'all pray for your boy, that's all I got to say. Puerto Rico. And I love you, honey, I love you. She's not here today because she were preaching in Atlanta. She spoke this past weekend in Atlanta, so she didn't leave me, that's why she's not here, but I'm gonna pray for your boy. A thousand women! Do you understand how big that closet, how many shoes we're talking about? That was a mess. Solomon had it all, and watch this, it comes to the end of his life, and in the book of Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes, which he wrote, the last chapter, the closing verse. Here's Solomon's assessment on life. Money, business, fame, women, all of it. Here's what he says. Chapter 12, verse 13. Here now is my final conclusion. Help me with this.
Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone's duty. He said, I'm going to take it all and boil it right down to one idea. You want to know what your role, your goal, your mission, your purpose is in life? Honor God with your life and do what he said to do, and everything else you desire will come with it. You can get it on your own, and you can pay the price, because there is a tax that will be required on the other end. Or you can do it God's way. And God said, I know how to bless you and add no sorrow with it. Do it God's way. Get God's results. It kind of sounds like seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and the stuff will be added. You were designed, you were created, listen to me, in God's image. Genesis chapter 1, man, you and I, we were designed in God's image, which explains exactly why your purpose cannot be fulfilled with apart from God. You have to be connected to him to experience the fullness. It's him that opens doors. It's him that closes doors. It's him that makes crooked places straight. It's him that promotes your name. It's him that gives rise. It's him that directs all of that. Ladies and gentlemen, he can see down the road.
He knows who you need to be connected with and who you need to avoid like the plague. And he has a way of leading, shaping, and designing all that. Knowing Jesus is essential in life because he decides my values, my convictions. He tells me when to say yes. His word tells me when to say no. There's some people that you need to say no to that you might have said yes to. I've done that. There's some people that I said no to that I wish I'd said yes to. He'll direct us in that. There's boundaries that he puts in my life, and that's how he directs. And Jesus, when he's involved like that, he leads every area of your life because the word becomes primary, and the wisdom of that word begins to direct your heart. And Holy Spirit is inside that helper, guiding and leading because I've made Jesus my focus. Now he's leading in the focus areas of my life, my career, education, the interest that I'm involved in. He leads with my friends. The right one's in, the wrong one's out. I'm like-minded. I'm aligned with him. We have common goals together. We're pushing my future, my future, my decisions,
my dreams, the direction for my life. He leads in all of those things, and he is not one who is limiting your life. He is one that is setting your life up. God has no problem with you having all kinds of amazing blessing flowing everywhere so that you can be a blessing. But the way you get it, the way I get it, decides if we're living in purpose or not. That purpose will save you from self-inflicted wounds. Now I'm no longer living in drama, trying to act like it's all good. I'm no longer tripping in life, taking hits that I never should have gone through, sleepless nights that I never should have encountered because I'm doing it his way. In fact, let me just put it this way, and I want you to say this loud with me. Say this loud with me. Here it is. Jesus is the foundation of your entire life. Would you read that with me? Say it loud. Jesus is the foundation of my entire life. One more time. Jesus is the foundation of my entire life. You see, then, after I know who I am and the purpose, I'm here to honor God and to fulfill his will, and everything is gonna come behind that. Once I know that, now I'm ready for, now what are we?
I've got to establish that before I can go forward. Based on that, I want to talk to you now about these three ways to identify that relationship or that situationship you're in, whatever you want to call it. I don't know, if it's a marriage, that's all good. It's all good. It's all good. Where are the married folk in the place? All the married folk? Let me see married folk. Okay, there's some people loud and proud about that. That's nice. Where are the successfully, sensationally single people? Where are the sensationally single people? Yeah, very good, very good. Anybody engaged? Where are the engaged folks? Some of y'all engaged? You're no longer in neutral? You're moving, okay, that's good, that's good, yeah. Love that. Anybody just desperate, thirsty? Like you just, don't raise your hand, don't raise your hand, don't raise your hand. Whatever the case may be I want us to get in here. What are we? How do I define clarify this relationship number one? We got to go in a hurry. Number one. It's defined by That two people you and the one you're connected to actually have personal relationships with Jesus This is question number one and I can tell you now if you're innocent in a relationship
I don't care if it's if it's a business partner if it's if it's a spouse if it is a Dating relationship if the other person does not have a relationship with Jesus. You got a messy situation on your hands That's not my opinion. That's Bible Life rule number one. Let's just lay this one out if you're looking for a new tattoo This is a good one right here. Put this one on here. We go 2nd Corinthians chapter 6 verse 14. Look at this Here's what it says. Do not be yoked together with Unbelievers For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common or what? Fellowship can light have with darkness now. Let me lay something out here. I Got a lot of people in my life that don't know Jesus and I love them We're not higher mightier better than anybody. That's not what I'm saying But this is to I I have a lot of acquaintances and people that I would do things for to help them But if I'm good when I talk about relationships, I'm talking about that person that you have given access to your heart That has the ability to to move to shift to influence who you are and where you're going Those are different and that's what this word is talking about when when you're you're yoked together We're doing it side-by-side. We're Connected and we're to be going in the same direction. I I want Cindy Serving Jesus so he can fix her It's my message I'll preach it like I want to I'm so bold when she's not here. She's coming back, you know, sorry No, no, no, no watch watch watch watch watch watch. She wants me serving Jesus Because when I get out of order my attitude goes sideways I get the priorities of life mixed up and I put the church ahead of her but the church ahead of family I have a this thing called Conviction where Holy Spirit runs through me and I feel like the lowest of lows like this is bad. This is wrong You need to go repent to your wife. You need to apologize You need to fix this and man whenever that hits you just can't you can't just shake that off He has a way of gnawing on you and he's like the the hound of heaven Oh, I'm like he he's after you right? He's always on you and I find myself going to say like Cindy
Look, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. My attitude this past week. It just been horrible I know I've been difficult to be around. She goes. Yes, like no, don't a man be right now. I'm trying to get this out. I Want her hearing from God she wants me hearing from God Because he's only going to continue to strengthen the health of our relationship That's why it's important that we understand. I I need a spouse Who can look me in the face and say I know today's a big day. I'm praying for you God is with you Scott. God's gonna give you wisdom and direction today. You're gonna make great decisions I need the one that I love that knows me the most to look me in the face and speak faith and life into me Nothing like that in the world. I I know what it is I know what it is to go home after a you've got to be kidding me kind of day I've had news hit that was heavy go home make it to the couch Lay my head in my wife's lap and she lay hands on my head while I am crying and she's praying over me That ladies and gentlemen is a special place I Need her knowing Jesus and she needs me knowing Jesus So that we can actually live and have this life. She wants my mind shaped by the Bible I want her to walk in the wisdom of heaven. I Need I need her to be able to handle anger and pressure biblically You ever been around someone who didn't know how to handle it She doesn't need me putting holes in the walls She needs me breathing deep breathe Stretch shake let it go. She needs sorry. I'm sorry She needs me. She needs me handling that Under the covering of God Holy Spirit lead me She she she has no problem following as long as I'm leading with him as the head of my life And the Word is directing this Is how it works together honoring Jesus the attitude is good full of hope joy We go through tough times, but we have a hope that God is good going to bring us out You need that in your business relationships if you're in partnership with somebody you need a business partner who believes in Jesus like you believe In Jesus that we can walk this through together. You need that in your friendships. You need it in your dating life
It's across every intimate relationship Relationship who are we you better know Jesus individually so that there's health and there's power going forward. This is fundamental This is fun. If you don't believe me ask somebody who has been married to a non-believer They love them tremendously and I love that But it's it's tough When we have two sets of convictions Pastor Rick come come help me if you would Don't be Unequally yoked This is my brother If we're going into business together, I need to do that. We're aligned. We see the same thing We're praying over some stuff We still have some different decisions and different different opinions about it But we fight for that unity and we work it out doesn't mean everything is easy, but we're fighting together We have the same conviction the same Bible the same Holy Spirit leading our lives if I get out of order I can repent him. He receives it because he knows what repentance is like we share that back and forth, but if we're unequally yoked That means I'm pulling this way. He's pulling that way Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of marriage is this? What what what kind of yeah, why are you dating at this level? I Run forest run Don't you get married in this? No But he looks good. He don't look that good. He don't look that good We're so the Bible says how good and how pleasant is for brothers to dwell together in unity There's a commanded blessing on unity But when we're yoked unequally I Thank you
That ain't glorifying God And it's causing pressure and heartache and pain on me and I'm praying prayers. I never should have had to pray And I'm stressed out of her stuff. I never should have been stressed over Because I didn't know who I was and I walked into a place letting somebody else run my world I I can't go there Ladies, let me just kind of help you with this You got that guy and he looks good and I'm gonna talk to the ladies about this because the Bible says that when a when when when a lady and a man are getting together that she is coming under the covering of The man's life that that's that's Bible not my penis Bible. So don't get mad at me But but you got some questions you need to ask him start with this one. Do you have a job? That's probably a good place to start If you ain't got a job, are you in school I keep going somewhere Deep here's another one. Do you live with your mama? Follow-up question your grandmama Are you still married I've lived in Polk County a minute. I know what I'm talking about Are you over your last situation? Are you a Cowboys fan? I mean there I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone there. There's there are some things that are just like Watch watch watch watch. Here's the first two questions. Here's the first two questions. You've got to ask number one Tell me about your relationship with Jesus Tell me what that's like Do you talk do you know him? When did you invite him into your life? I'm not looking for a rock star. You don't have to have the book of Hebrews memorized the book of John is fine Hebrews is kind of difficult, but I did like Do you have a relationship with Jesus and Then oh, yeah, because I'm telling you guys will tell you anything. We'll tell you anything. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome That is awesome. What church do you go to? Second question. Oh I go to Freelife Chapel Because he drives by it on the way to work. He knows what it looks like. Oh, really tell me this. What's the pastor's name? Yeah, uh
That one right there that one stumps a lot of people They know a church name. They just don't you want to find somebody who is legit Again, no rock stars. There's no such thing as a rock star believer Rockstar believer We're all working it out. We're all taking our steps. There's no superstars in this, but man, just please be in the race. Just be headed somewhere with him. Because that answer, how he comes out, determines if there's gonna be a second date or not. Because why would I get stuck in a tug and pull situation when I know here's what's gonna happen. The only way for the stress to leave a situation where we're unequally yoked is for me to give up and follow you. And ladies and gentlemen, you don't give up your purpose for anybody. You don't walk away from who God made you to be or his plan for your life for anybody. We hold on to that. And by the way, let me just put this out there. This is important for marriages too. It's important for marriages too. We need to ask the question again, what are we doing? What are we doing? Been married for 15 years, we need to revisit this question. Who are we?
What's this life about? What's this marriage all about? The kids are about to leave. We're gonna hit year 20 of being married, year 22 of being married. Kids are gonna be gone. You and me looking face to face. Who are we? What's happening in us? Where are we going? Are we on the same page? Are we united? You gotta know that there's something. You gotta have this conversation again and again and again. Don't let your home get stuck. You gotta keep talking about Jesus. Don't let Jesus be a weird topic in your house. No, when it come time to pray, don't have three kids fall over fainting because, oh my God, somebody's praying in the house. That ought not be the situation. We're moving. We attend church. We know what it is to pray. We don't have it all together. We have issues, but man, we're God conscious. We're God aware and we're doing the best. We're moving towards him. Is our marriage Christ honoring? Is it encouraging our faith?
Are we living in that? If it's not, then repent and reset. Change it. Say, from this day on, there's some things that we gotta reset. Number one, I wanna go really quick. How do you know? The question of what are we, are we both committed to Christ? Number two, are we in pursuit of Christ together? One thing to know Jesus, another thing to be after Jesus. Are we pursuing him? This is an important question. You gotta keep your faith growing. I'm glad that when you got married seven years ago, that you were both believers, but we should be stronger believers in year number seven than we were when we first started. I should have found a place to serve in the church and our conversation about Christ should be growing and I've got this group, I'm advancing my understanding. Stronger men and stronger women make stronger families. We should be getting better and stronger and advancing and my son should start his marriage to the place that I peeked out. He gets on my shoulders and keeps on going. So we keep dialing up every generation. It gets better and gets better.
Unequally yoked. How can two people be apart but still be pursuing the same thing unless Jesus is the goal? Pastor Rick, would you help me again? I'm gonna work you out today. If you'll stand over there by the guitar. Now watch this. The word of God. This is the goal for my life and this is the goal for his life. There it is. Whoop, there it is. Whoop, there it is. I wanna do business with this guy. But as opposed to just pursuing him, I've gotta keep pursuing this word. As opposed to pursuing me, he's gotta keep pursuing the word. And as long as Jesus and his purpose and his word and his way and his character and his wisdom and his will is what is I'm after and what he's after, it only advances both of us and it brings us together. I need you to understand something. Thank you very much. I need you to understand something. When you go into a dating relationship, you might not be aware of this. There's three of you all dating, not two.
When you said I do, it was really we do because you all got married in front of somebody. And I don't know how big the crowd was, if it was two people or if it was 2,000 people, but they were witnesses as you all made vows to God. And the three of you entered a covenant because the three of us are together, I don't have the right or the authority to divorce my wife. I made lifetime vows to that woman before him. He heard it. And the way that this works is when his voice and his wisdom continues to guide, lead, and direct this house. This wisdom doesn't come out of Scott. This wisdom doesn't come out of Cindy. This wisdom flows from him. And as long as we keep our heads faced towards him, he brings us closer together. Jesus is not the problem in your relationships. No, no, no, no. I know, I know. You've got 99 problems, but Jesus ain't one. No. So we keep moving towards him. Ephesians chapter 2 says that we're made alive together with Christ. In other words, there should be something where I'm encouraging Cindy's walk. She's encouraging my walk. I'm a better Christian because of my wife. She should be a better believer because I'm in her life. All of this matters as we move forward. Here's the third and final point. How do I ask the question, the clarifying question, what are we? Number one, the individuals in the relationship have to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Number two, we mutually have to be growing together in that relationship. That right there, those are clarifying. If you're not, it's time to reset, repent, hit some new strides. This third one, how do you know what are we? Who are the people you're doing life with? You need Christian friends, the right friends in your life. Ladies and gentlemen, voices determine choices. The voices in your life are planting thoughts and ideas that you would never have come up with. You ever been doing really good until you got around that one person and they said it was a horrible idea? They said something terrible and you asked what time? Some of y'all will get that later. That's terrible. What time we've been doing that?
Yeah, let's go. There's some things that I wouldn't even thinking about that all of a sudden, dang. I need Cindy right now. Cindy right now. She preached this weekend in a women's event and some of her girlfriends from college, they all still stay. They're close friends. They're married. They all serve in Jesus families. They're kids. We're aunts and uncles to all those kids. Cindy's with those girls right now and she's having the time of her life and do you know why I'm good with that and why I encourage her go see your girls? Because they ain't none of them trying to talk her into divorcing me. They ain't, none of those girls going, oh girl, I am done with this situation. Oh my God, marriage. I don't need my wife hearing that stuff. I need somebody going, that's my man, Hercules, Hercules. I need, I need to, like she's hanging with some girls who are all about their boo. So she's loving this. So when she comes home, she goes, where's my boo? I'm like, I'm right here girl. I'm right here. I like, like that's, I want that in her life. When I'm, when I'm spending time with my boys, I don't need to be out with guys who are jacked up and angry at marriage and oh my God, these kids, I can't believe this. Dang, look at her. She looks good. I don't need you attracting my attention to places. It doesn't need to be. I need the right people in my life, the right guys in my life, the people that surround you, the people that you choose to influence your home, your dating relationship, your business relationships. Those voices are going to have massive impact on what your future looks like. Who are we? Do I know my purpose? Based on that, I qualify and disqualify. Oh, I like you. You look good and you love Jesus. Oh, I'm gonna serve him, you serve him. We'll walk this out together. Oh, now we're going to serve him together and grow together. I'm liking this. Let's get the right voices in our life and surround ourselves with the right people so we're hearing these things that are encouraging and planting ideas of strength and repentance and love and humility and protection and honor are building inside this home so that I'm insulated in what is pleasing to God with my life. The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life. Relationships go sideways, your life sucketh. That's King James in case
you're wondering. There's nothing like being gutted by that. You got to know you got the right voices in your life. Listen what the Bible says Galatians chapter 6 verse 2 read this out loud. We're almost done here We go 1 2 3 help carry one another's burdens and in this way you will obey the law I'm here to serve you you're here to serve me stop trying to do life alone We're built for community You were never meant to do life by yourself do marriage alone. Yeah, that's why we put aroma out there in the lobby That's not for you to buy a drink that's for you to get stuck in line so we can say hi. How are you? What's your name? It's a place of community we want to get to know you we want to do some life together There's something in you that's going to encourage us. I hope there's something in us that will encourage you we need each other It's about community folks God blesses in community God leads in community God elevates in community. We need each other relationships matter That's why we have to keep looking at who are we and make sure we're doing it in the right way relationships by themselves Bring enough tension, but when we're making decisions that are honoring God based on his wisdom You can do it right and you can always come out on top. Would you stand to your feet in this room, please? Come on Listen I I've made some I've made some bad decisions in my marriage I've gone sideways of my attitude. Oh, man. I I've gone through that and I've had to come back and repent and I'm sorry Anybody else beside me anybody just hate repenting hate apologizing anybody besides me look a bunch of liars in church Won't even raise your hand it ain't like you love it. I Don't like it. I don't like it But I've been there it's called relationship And when we enter into this like this listen in a couple of weeks not next week because we're gonna be done We're gonna be in that but but in two weeks Cindy's gonna be up here with me and she's gonna correct everything I got wrong and and and then we're gonna start talking real About some relationships and bring it start laying some things out so we can who are we we're going to talk about that But but foundationally we have to know our purpose and then we got to be able to qualify Where are we in this and once we get this running then we can expect every promise from God to flow into our life
