The People Mess

People are messy. So it stands to reason that people can really mess things up, including relationships. We'll discover that Jesus isn't bothered by messy people, and in fact, welcomes them. Good news for each of us!

Why Relationships?

Despite the messiness, God designed us to live in and grow through relationships. Are you open to letting God work in your life through other "messy" people?

Concerning Forgiveness

Forgiveness is tough, but Jesus commands us to do it – no matter how many times we're sinned against! Why is forgiveness so important in our relationships?

Rediscovering the Art of Neighboring

In our fast-paced culture, "neighboring" is a lost art. This message encourages us to get to know our neighbors, moving from strangers to acquaintances, then from acquaintances to relationship with the people who live closest to us.

Specks and Planks

Got something in your eye? Jesus uses some powerful imagery involving specks and planks to illustrate the concept of owning up to our part of a conflict.

Gently Restore

Is it really our business if someone else is getting off track with sinful attitudes or behaviors? The Bible gives clear direction on if, when and how to approach and help restore another person who may be struggling.

Go and Be Reconciled

Reconciliation isn't easy, but Jesus commands it. Is He asking us to do the impossible?

The Gospel and Peacemaking

Our natural tendencies almost always lead us away from peacemaking rather than toward it. How can we walk the unnatural path of the peacemaker and experience God's blessings as a result?
