Relationships come from the word “relate” and refers to how two or more people connect or are connected. There are all sorts of relationships in our lives from family, friends, and neighbors, to co-workers, and classmates. Relationships are made and must be maintained in every area of our lives; at home, school, work, church and even when we are alone our relationships fill our minds and hearts.
Join us for a very enlightening and encouraging series on what the Bible says about making and maintaining healthy relationships.

Making and Maintaining a Relationship with God (August 18, 2019)
30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Making and Maintaining a Relationship with Yourself (August 25, 2019)
3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Making and Maintaining Healthy Relationships with Others (September 8, 2019)
Difficulties, disagreements, and disappointments all go with relationships. For three years Jesus had twelve close friends, and when He needed them most one betrayed Him, one denied Him, ten forsook Him. When He died on the cross only His mother and one disciple was standing nearby and a multitude of enemies who hated Him. Jesus was perfect, and if He had difficult relationships we can be sure we will too. Making and maintaining healthy relationships with others is challenging to say the least. This Sunday we will study God’s Word to learn some principles about making and maintaining healthy relationships.
30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
