Picture Perfect - Pastor Chris Cope

“How are the relationships in your life?If you were to do an honest evaluation, are your relationships rooted in love and unity, or are they filled with strife? Many of our relationship struggles stem from a warped understanding of what they should be. If we’re not careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds, we risk being influenced by the world’s flawed views of relationships. Today, God wants to renew your mind of what He desires for your relationships!"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Romans 12:2If we look to what Jesus says in John 17, we begin to see the picture God gives us to model in our connections with others. This picture is full of love, unity, and humility. Our love for one another is a testament to the world because it reveals the heart of God. This doesn't mean we will never disagree, but we must not allow our disagreements to create division. Division not only impacts our relationships but ultimately, its affects our witness to the world. As followers and imitators of Christ, unity can flourish even in the midst of disagreement.This starts with humility!#ThisIsTheGospel #LetTheWindBlow #SermonSunday #Faith #Gospel #Christianity #Church #Hope #Prayer #Abide #HolySpirit #GiftsoftheSpirit #Community #Bible #TheWordofGod #Relationships”
