Oasis Church
Difficulties, disagreements, and disappointments all go with relationships. For three years Jesus had twelve close friends, and when He needed them most one betrayed Him, one denied Him, ten forsook Him. When He died on the cross only His mother and one disciple was standing nearby and a multitude of enemies who hated Him. Jesus was perfect, and if He had difficult relationships we can be sure we will too. Making and maintaining healthy relationships with others is challenging to say the least. This Sunday we will study God’s Word to learn some principles about making and maintaining healthy relationships.
Mark 12:30-31 NKJV
1) Love God - first and foremost with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
2) Love yourself - accepting and appreciating who you are in Christ.
