Taking a deep breath

I want to thank all of you who have engaged in our discussion about Relationships. I know I have been blessed by the journey. I hope you have as well.

This week we take a deep breath. I won't be preaching this week. I know you will be blessed by the message that God will bring through Joe and Musial this week.

But I will be back the following week. And we're going to go Back to the Beginning. Do you remember what it was like when your most prized things in life were shiny and new? Oh how we treasured them and kept them from harm. Then life comes along and the shine wears off. Soon the objects of desire when they were new become objects of scorn when they appear old to us.

What if we went back to the beginning in many areas of our lives? What would happen if we recaptured our first love? How would we view the gifts God has given us?

So take a deep breath this week and try to go back to the beginning. I know I will.

Relationships|Healthy Conflict

What if we were to examine the conflict in our relationships in the way God intended? What if we stopped to ask God how to deal with difficult situations in our lives? In week four of our Relationship Series we talk about How to Fight Right: How to have Healthy Conflict.

Relationships|Mother and Child

This Sunday we take a look at the relationship between mother and child. Sometimes, those look like a greeting card commercial. Many times those relationships are less than perfect. What would God have us do with those relationships? What does the Bible say about how to honor those who have done so much for us?
