Getting Relationships Right - Lesson Series at YG Feb 26 to April 9
Throughout this series, we are deep diving into how we can have strong, healthy, and thriving relationships with God and with others. The first half of this series is focused on our relationship with God, others, and our family. The second half of this series is going to zero in on how to navigate romantic relationships wisely. To illustrate the key principles and practices we need to get our relationships right, we will be examining some of the best (and worst) examples from the Old Testament so that, when everything is said and done, our students will have the biblical understanding and the practical skills to live rightly with God and with others.
Getting it Right with Others - Bible Reading Plan for Feb 26 to Mar 19
We’ve all dealt with conflict at some point in our lives. Why? Because we’re humans, and humans mess up! But, we don’t have to fear conflict. In fact, healthy conflict can lead to healthier relationships. Through this 5-day Plan, we’ll look at why conflict matters to God and how we can start getting it right with others.
