Relational Foundations
The Relational Foundations course will bring a renewed relevance in both personal lives and ministries.
God wants to bring us back to the principles of the Great Commandment: loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Our view of God impacts every aspect of our Christian faith. Every part of our spiritual journey is either hindered or empowered by our view of Him.
God has given us His Word in order that we will know what to believe and how to behave, and so that we might come to more deeply love the One who wrote it.
Life and ministry relevance is only possible when we are able to see people the way God sees them— as both fallen and alone.
Relevant, relational ministry requires ministering to a person’s aloneness first, in order to provide a relational context for addressing that person’s fallenness.
We are not just separate persons embracing a common faith. We are members of one body, connected by one Spirit and saved by one Lord.
The loss of relevance the church has experienced as we have tried to share our faith is largely due to our inability to sense the critical connection between the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
Mature followers of Christ will undertake ministry to Jesus, the ministry of His Word, the ministry of His love toward others, and the ministry of reconciliation.
What is “Whole–life” Discipleship?
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I come so that they would have life, and have it abundantly”
(John 10:10).
In “Whole–life” discipleship, the focus of John 10:10 broadens from only focusing exclusively on faith to including other dimensions of “abundant life” or flourishing such as relationships, wellness, vocation, and finances.
