Wired for Relationships

by | Jan 31, 2006 | Bible Study

(PART 1)

You and I were created to have godly relationships with others. The Holy Spirit, who gives us wisdom in all things, will empower and guide us in establishing and maintaining healthy associations that will last.


READ: 2 Cor. 7: 1-2; Prov. 10:19; Prov. 12:15-21; Prov. 15:23,28; Prov. 17:9; Eph. 4:25-26.
HEART ISSUE: Have you placed Christ at the center of your relationships?
PRAYER FOCUS: Father, thank You that in all of my relationships, You are Lord. Help me to walk in love and sensitivity, so that others will see and experience You working through me. Amen.

(PART 2)

God blesses unity in our relationships. He is a God of peace, and in His Word He shows us how important it is that we live in that powerful and godly state, without compromise. God will provide you with the help you need in order to have successful, nurturing connections with other people.


READ: Gen. 2:18; Matt. 5:44; John 15:12; Eph. 2:14; 4:1-3,13; 5:2; 1 Cor. 1:10; 1 Cor. 16:14.
HEART ISSUE: Don’t give up on those relationships that have presented challenges. Put them in God’s hands. Let His perfect peace surround you, as His Spirit guides you. Reflect on how He has intervened in your life before to mend a broken relationship.
PRAYER FOCUS: Father, thank You that in all my associations, You are Lord. I am a representative of Your kingdom, and the Spirit of Christ, which dwells powerfully within me, can bring peace and joy to all my relationships. Amen.
