Friendships & Relationships

Stories change us because they remind us we're not alone and they inspire us to keep growing.

Most of us want to make a difference. But where do we start?

What if the friendships you already have are the ones God wants to use?

To "level up", we need to be part of a healthy, Christ-centered community. It’s easy to live isolated or in a pseudo-community and stay stuck, but doing life alone limits our ability to "level up".

Humility is far removed from 21st-century practice - business, school, sports, etc., and is often considered a weakness rather than a strength.

Healthy relationships are about others. It's not about you. In fact, you'll gain more joy and satisfaction in your relationships when both of you are thinking about the other first.

The key to keeping your marriage strong can be found in the Bible and it can apply to all relationships, in a way, not just your marriage.

Godly parenting is key to navigating healthy relationships with our children. It's needed more than ever and it begins with you.

Those people can be the worst. You know who “those people” are, right? We all have them, and they are difficult to like, much less love. It’s helpful to know that Jesus had “those people,” too, and His love for them creates the model for our behavior. It’s easy to like and love Jesus. At least until “those people” show up.

We all have a desire for justice, so why did Jesus have to pay such a high price?

An “us vs. them” mentality seems to permeate our society right now. Small and great disagreements alike create harsh division, and we view other people as our enemies in a war we must fight.

Jesus forgives us and seeks to restore us.

It’s really hard to love your neighbor well, if you don’t have the breathing room to care for yourself.

As we look beyond a simple reading of the events surrounding Jesus’ birth, we see there was much more than a peaceful nativity scenes and serene Hallmark cards.

There will always be people who disagree with you. Are you in a place where you accept that will and can still have relationships with them?

What's the big deal about living good lives? Because we're going to suffer for following Jesus, we need each other to help us get through.

Being a disciple is to be a follower of something, so discipleship is to point people toward that which you follow.

His forgiveness of us is the foundation stone. Our forgiveness of each other will build the church.

If you want to show people the love of Jesus, help them, don’t hurt them.

Jesus is the true king, and don’t drift away from him, hold tight. But that leads us to a logical question - ok, if I’m not going to drift, I’ll hold tight to Jesus. But how?

Jesus came to create a purposeful community marked by love and power. What did Jesus come to do? Who is Jesus?

Jesus came to give us life through relationship with Him. Do you believe Jesus knows your name? Do you think its possible to have a relationship with Him?

Jesus knew the power of a good question. That’s why He asked so many and still does.

We’re invited into the family of God through adoption in Jesus Christ. We were called to live together and impact one another’s lives through living in community.
