We Crave a Meaningful Relationship With God

We Can Live Life Related in a Healthy Way to Ourselves 

We Desire and are Commanded to Have Meaningful Relationships with Others:

- Our Family

- Other Followers of Jesus

- And Everyone Else

The Three Focus Areas of This Study:

1.  Meaningful Relationships At Home

2.  Meaningful Relationships At Church

3. Meaningful Relationships With People Outside the Church Walls

This Week’s Application – 

After you read through the verses above, pray about the relationships you have with individuals in your home, at church, in the community, at work, at school and in your extended family.

Ask God to reveal areas in those relationships that might fall short of His standard.

Ask God for the strength and courage to be willing to build meaningful relationships with family members, fellow believers and with those people who do not attend church.

Ask God to soften your heart towards others and to help you find practical ways to show God’s love to others as we continue this study.
