Messages on Relationships

Last week, we learned how we were created with the need for relationships – with God and with one another.  No matter what relationship it may be – with God, coworkers, spouses, class mates, friends, children, neighbors, etc. understanding is critically important for us to possess. This morning, we’re continuing on the theme of relationships as we begin to understand more fully one of the best known promises of God.  Before we can fully appreciate this promise for the amazing…

Relationships.  God exists as one; Father, Son, and Spirit.  We were created with the need for relationships – with God and with one another.  God’s command to us is to love Him with our everything and others as we love ourselves.  Our life purpose – no matter how unique – can only be fulfilled through relationships with others. Not only are relationships necessary for life, the most amazing experiences, the best of memories, and some of the most valuable assets…

Last week, we learned of how we are all called into the evangelical ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. We found that this simply means that we are called to serve others by bringing them the good news that the debt that they owe to God…

This week, we’re going to gain understanding and be challenged to fulfill the calling that we all have into the evangelistic ministry of reconciliation.  OK, it seems just like a lot of big words that don’t really sound all that exciting…  However, we’re going to find this morning just how easy to understand this ministry is and how much fun this task that we’ve been called to really is.  Now that we’ve been reconciled to God, He is calling us…

This morning, we’ll be continuing our message series on relationships.  So far, we took a look at the parenting relationship and different ways in which our families should reflect the kingdom of God and how we are to set healthy boundaries in our relationships.  This week, we’re going to take a look at how our freedom purchased by Christ is to affect our relationships. Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and…

This morning, we’ll be continuing our message series on relationships.  Last week, we took a look at the parenting relationship and different ways in which our families should reflect the kingdom of God.  This week, we’re going to take a look at a basic, but critical aspect of relationships: boundaries. The truth is that we see boundaries and respect them every day of our lives; they are everywhere!  In fact, God even created the world by setting boundaries!  Let’s take a…
