Friendships & Relationships

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?

We all mess up. What if those moments of failure aren't the end of the story?

Ever felt unqualified to help someone grow in their faith? You're not alone.

Have you ever felt like something’s missing in your faith—like you’re going through the motions but still longing for something deeper?

Freedom from anger is possible, and it starts with letting the right thing take control.

Tired of feeling disconnected and struggling to build lasting friendships? Adult life can make forming and maintaining relationships feel nearly impossible. But what if there was a proven way to cultivate meaningful connections?

Joseph’s story is filled with extreme highs and lows, but through it all, he experiences God's faithfulness in ways that challenge us to consider: Can we forgive those who hurt us, even when we have the power to make them pay?

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.

Our path toward maturity in our faith is paved with Church unity and mutual discipleship.

Because God is in control, we can trust He has the power to fulfill His promises.

God is at work at Grace Fishers just like in the early days of the church! We are in this together. Every part matters.

We are the answer to Jesus' prayer to reach the world.

God uses ordinary, broken people to reach ordinary, broken people.

Imagine what would happen to this community if each one of us invested in the life of one person?

No Christian lives their faith in solitude.

Your character determines the quality of your life. Your character is no better than how you treat others.

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.

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?

Expressing gratitude is critical to our physical, emotional and spiritual health.

We need to move beyond Narratives about others to Names and New Beginnings.

The end of our hostility toward one another today is possible because of Jesus Christ.

With so many relationships strained, estranged and severed – it’s as good a time as ever to return to one of the most basic, life changing calls of Jesus: to love like Him.

We all have the tendency to look at someone in a judgmental way without ever knowing their story. Which brings us to another question Jesus asks that gives someone a chance to move out of one way of living and into another – closer to the heart of Jesus.

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.
