One of the most important relationships we all have to work on is with our enemies. Did you know there is a correlations between the way we love ourselves and how we love our enemies?

[Romans 12:1-21]

We all know that celebrating the other person’s successes is a crucial part of having a healthy relationship. However, this is easier said than done. Not being able to enjoy someone else’s victories has its roots in disagreeing with God’s good plan for our world.

[1 Samuel 18:6-12]

“After all I’ve done for you! You are so ungrateful.” Have you ever said that? Has anyone ever said that to you? We all have stories of being a victim of ungratefulness, but have we considered the possibility that we could be perceived as the ungrateful ones?

[Luke 17:11-19]

How much do you trust your friend, partner, spouse, colleague, etc.? Our brains are designed to open up to those who trusts us and give us the benefit of the doubt. The opposite is also true - our brains will either push back or push away those who do not trust us. Has God shown you trust? Have you shown trust to others?

When you tell a person that you feel threatened, belittled, or offended, it is normal to feel that we are bringing chaos into the relationship. However, if Jesus is the model for healthy relationships, we must trust that there is victory at the end!

We were all created to take responsibility. Rather, in our sinful nature, we end up playing the Blame Game. When we’re guilty, it’s tempting to blame others for our choices. But putting the blame on others is toxic to our relationships. The good news is there’s a better way.

[Phil. 2:3-8]

There’s nothing more toxic to a relationship than secretly trying to change the other person. It feels awful. It doesn’t work. And it will eventually destroy the relationship. The good news is there’s a better way.

[Romans 14:1-13]

Did you know that we were all meant to live forever? God has a plan for our future, and what you do today matters!

What is the big deal with Resurrection? Can you be a Christian and not believe in the Resurrection? To Paul, it is essential.

In 1 Cor. 14, Paul addresses a problem in the church. People are using their God-given gifts to create an hierarchy. Paul warns them that hierarchies destroy communities, and the gifts are given for the sake of building each other up.
