It's so easy to let goals, mission statements, objectives, etc., hijack the importance of people. So
much junk happens in the world because the lives of others are not honored,
because the relationship between one person and another is not valued.
It
would be super if I could say that churches were immune to this tendency to put
the importance of relationships aside. But they’re not. Instead of being
immune, rather, we have a direct challenge to be moved by God’s Holy Spirit
towards rising above this tendency—to rise above the tendency to inappropriately
value other objectives over the honoring of relationships.
In this message I (Jonathan) share about God's nature as relational, about the early church itself being relational, and about every Christians' calling to follow this example and be RELATIONAL. The people and relationships in our lives are God's gift to be treasured and valued.
