RELATING GOD'S WAY
a 4-week class with Kevin Furno
We probably all have experienced relationships where unresolved conflicts, outbursts of anger, refusal to forgive, and lack of love investment drives us to feelings of frustration, despair and ultimately isolation. God tells us that he created humans in his image - as persons designed for personal love relationships. Healthy relationships are evidenced by loving each other as Christ loves us, by preserving the unity we have with each other, forgiving wrongs against us, and guarding against negative emotions like anger poisoning us against others. This class focuses on understanding God's way of resolving conflict, forgiving, and investing in others through learning, discussing and applying God’s love for us.

Prayer is about “uniting your helplessness with faith” (O. Hallesby).
