Connections Part 1
Relationships shape everything. Our faith. Our families. Our future. In this opening message of the Connections series, we lay a biblical foundation for understanding why relationships are God’s idea and why their health matters more than we often realize.Pastor Sawyer teaches that every relationship in our lives flows from one primary connection: our relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn what it truly means to remain connected to Christ and how that connection determines the fruit we bear in marriage, friendships, and everyday life.It’s time to ask some honest questions: Who am I connected to? What am I connected to? And why? Through practical teaching and biblical truth, we learn how unhealthy connections lead to broken cycles, while godly connections bring healing, freedom, and purpose. Whether you are navigating marriage, friendships, or personal growth, this message provides clarity, wisdom, and a starting point for lasting transformation.If you are longing for healthier relationships, spiritual growth, and a stronger foundation for your life, this series begins here.00:00 Introduction to the Connections Series 00:09 Why Relationships Matter to God 00:49 Challenges Facing Relationships Today 03:38 The Foundational Connection with Jesus Christ 04:37 Understanding Connection vs. Relationship 14:11 The Love Triangle: God, You, and Others 20:04 Becoming a New Creation in Christ 25:40 Adoption and Inheritance Through Christ 25:53 Healing and Transformation in Christ 26:26 Life Without Christ and Brokenness 27:18 The Three-Legged Race Illustration 28:19 Recognizing Cycles of Brokenness 29:13 Living as a New Creation 29:41 Christ as the Foundation of Relationships 29:58 Freedom and Forgiveness in Christ 30:35 Learning to Live in the Spirit 33:39 Understanding the Will of God 40:04 Submission, Cooperation, and Unity 44:02 Evaluating Your Connections 46:39 Living with Love and Gratitude in ChristDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?
