Join us this week as Pastor Rick talks about working ON our relationships while being IN them. There are dynamics at play that create tension in each of our relationships. Furthermore, there are blind-spots that keep us stuck in a dysfunctional relationship loop of behaviors and attitudes. Learn what God’s word has to say about this subject.

NEXT STEPS:
• This week, I will memorize and pray Psalms 139:23-24 (NLT), “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
• I am submitting my relationship goals to God and asking Him to start with me.
• I need to own my responsibility, and repent before God, of how I’ve sinned against him in the following relationship: _______________________________.

• This week, I’m asking the Holy Spirit to show me how I can go the extra mile in my relationships.
• This week, I will memorize Proverbs 11:24-25 (NLT) “Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
