This sermon presents healthy boundaries as a biblical way to stop participating in dysfunctional patterns and to steward the life God has given each person. It distinguishes between carrying another person's overwhelming burden and taking responsibility for the ordinary load of one's own choices, emotions, priorities, and duties. The message shows that boundaries are not walls but fences with gates that protect the heart, allow good influences in, and keep destructive influences out. It calls listeners to set and honor wise limits so they can love God and other people more deeply.
