In our March 22 Sunday gathering we kick off a new series about relationships. This week's Reflection Questions

are below:

1. Who are your closet relationships? Who do you have the most strained relationships with?

2. The Harvard Study of Adult Development shows that relationships are the strongest predictor of a healthy life. Do your current priorities reflect that—or is something else taking their place?

3. Peter Scazzero says you cannot be spiritually mature and emotionally immature. Where do you see a gap between what you believe spiritually and how you relate to people?

4. When you think about “spiritual maturity,” what do you instinctively measure— knowledge, behavior, or relationships? How might God be redefining that for you?

5. Jesus teaches that loving God and loving others are inseparable (Matthew 22:37– 39). Who in your life is currently hardest to love well—and why?

6. Genesis says it is “not good” for humans to be alone. Where in your life are you experiencing isolation—physically, emotionally, or spiritually?

7. Think about your closest relationships (family, friends, coworkers). Would those people describe you as loving, patient, and present? Why or why not?

8. In what ways have convenience, busyness, or technology made your relationships more shallow? What is one intentional step you could take this week to deepen a relationship?

9. If your spiritual maturity were evaluated only by the health of your relationships, what would need to change starting today?
