Relationship Matters

Rev. Dr. Billy Burch

Main Idea:

We are all in relationships. We build relationships daily with each other, with family, spouses, friends, and with God. These relationships provide support in tough times, allow us to love one another deeply, walk in fellowship, and encourage each other to grow.
 
When we talk about “Theology of Relationships” we are asking, “God, what do you think about this subject?” The topic of relationships is interwoven throughout Scripture.
