Relationship Status: Friendship
As we begin a new worship series this week, we explore Jesus’ idea of friendship. What does it mean to be a friend in the way of Jesus? Importantly, what is encompassed in Christlike relational community?
With ever-increasing means of being interconnected societally, Americans report feeling more alone and isolated. Our faith in Christ calls us, however, to be relational in very specific ways. How can your life in Christ make a difference relationally?
The way of Christ calls his disciples to “keep” his commands to love as he loves. List ways you are living out loving friendship with and in Christ. As you review that list, allow God’s Spirit to guide your discernment about how to live further into holy friendships.
Series Information
February is often the month when we reflect upon our love relationships. This February we are taking the opportunity to explore our relationships in light of God’s word. We will begin with friendships, talk about family and marriage, hear from our youth and end in exploring our relationship with God. This series will be grounded in the “real” of life taking on when everything is not all hearts and flowers, as well as looking to God’s most healthy vision for all of our connections. Don’t miss this series! It’s a time to offer up your hopes, dreams and difficulties to God in the light of God’s Word.
