RELATIONSHIPS

The heart of leadership, whether at home, at work, or even in our families, is all about relationships. Relationships are often described as “the good, the bad, and the ugly!” God is a relational God and has designed us as relational beings. Unfortunately, sin messed everything up. Because of that, friendships are broken, families are torn apart, communities are divided, and countries go to war. Some have called this time in history “the death of civility.”

Amidst the residue, junk, and garbage from broken relationships, there is hope. There is a path towards restoration. Marriages can be made whole. Families can be reunited. Friendships can be renewed.

In Romans 12-16, a great framework for relational healing is presented. Tough issues are tackled, such as: • How to live with impossible people. • Dealing with life’s deepest hurts and relationship failures. • What to do when your best effort doesn’t work. • Knowing and learning what to do with the greatest relationship killer.

There are no perfect families. There are no perfect children. There are no perfect people. Yet each of us can move towards healing from damaged relationships. I’m excited about what the Word has been teaching me, and I’m honored to share it with you.

Yours for Healthy Relationships,Pastor Dave

2. The Greatest Relationship KillerMay 19, 2019 | Romans 12God is a God of relationships. He desires to have a personal relationship with us. Out of that relationship can come healthy relationships with each other. When our vertical relationship is right, our horizontal relationships become healthier. Yet because of our bent towards sin, we often mess up our interpersonal relationships. Only when we deal with the greatest relationship-killer will we truly experience what God intended for us.

The "THERE" in our relationship journey:• Live in with one another.—Rom. 12:16

• Live at with everyone.—Rom. 12:18

The greatest relationship killer is .—Rom. 12:3, 16Pride is a with self, self-centeredness.

Pride has an end.• It pits God .—1 Peter 5:5

• It causes a .—Proverbs 16:18

The Holy Spirit can help us .We must:
