Stronger Relationships
Relationships are at the forefront of our minds all the time. Growing connections, old friendships, family drama, and more are always circulating in our brains. Relationships - both with people and God - are central to who we are as people. God made us relational beings. If relationships are so important, God must’ve said something about them in the Bible, right? Right. He said a lot! The health of our relationship with God is a determining factor for every other relationship we have in our lives. Mending broken relationships with others is also a strong theme in Jesus’ teachings. Over the next six weeks, you will learn about how to grow and maintain healthy relationships with God, family, friends, and (current or future) spouses. Allow God to increase your capacity to love Him, and He will enable you to love others more deeply.
