Relate Church

Raised for Raising- Reach and Raise - 10/25/2020

At Relate Church, we expect you to grow Spiritually, and we have people dedicating their lives to that growth. 
Some Christians never change their lives to accommodate for God living in them. God is building a home. A family. A place where it’s normal for spiritual babies to grow up and be mature.
Here’s the call to you: Be raised. Allow yourself to be raised up in your faith. Don’t fight progress in your spiritual life. 
God needs people to become spiritually mature so they can raise more.

Reaching Your Reachables- Reach and Raise - 10/18/2020

Sharing any part of the Gospel is a seed sown, or a seed watered.  Sometimes you are the one planting a seed in someone. And sometimes you are the one watering a seed already planted.
Here’s what God is interested in: God wants us to unite about reaching the lost so much, that our differences don’t even matter.

Your Call to Ministry- Reach and Raise - 10/11/2020

Often people stop at serving the Lord in prayer, fasting, and just coming to church. We consider ourselves disqualified from doing more. Or we think that it is the responsibility of the pastor to do ministry, and we just barely survive spiritually enough to eventually make it to heaven.
God wants you to flourish in your relationship with Him so much that your life becomes a life of love to Him and to others. He wants your life to be full of purpose with Him.

Being Rich Toward God- Reach and Raise - 10/4/2020

Many people INTEND on telling people about Jesus. But never do.
Many people INTEND on learning how to teach about Jesus. But never do.
Intending to be good to God isn’t being rich toward God.
We are so focused on our needs and desires that even when we do get involved in God’s Kingdom it is still about us and not Him.

Cultivate Agape Love- Healthy In- 9/27/2020

People have a tendency to come to church just because it’s the right thing to do. 
People serve in positions at a church because it’s the right thing to do.
People even pay tithe to a church because God said to.
God doesn’t just want you to do the right thing. God wants you to love Him.

Cultivate Romance- Healthy In- 9/20/2020

Marriages are on the rocks today because of all the false images and videos that we worship. Never before, in the history of mankind, has there been so much fake romance available. It’s destroying our ability to love, really love. To focus on one human for life. But it’s not just marriages these things kill, it’s intimacy with God too.
God wants your thoughts to be on Him, your affections, your friendship, your love. True romance in your life begins when you cultivate your love with God. 

Cultivate Friendship- Healthy In- 9/13/2020

The key to being a loving person is letting God love you. When you let God’s love in, you then can love others. 
Letting God come in is letting love come in. God is love. But it’s better than that. It isn’t just that God IS love, it’s that God loves you. Cultivating love in your life begins with believing, accepting, and receiving, God’s love for you.

Cultivate Affection- Healthy In- 9/6/2020

All too often, the majority of our affections we feel are negative. Bad experiences. Painful moments in life. Times when we failed. The time we went left and should have gone right. Today is the day to let your affections be fueled by God’s love, not by this world. Set your affections on things above.

Making Your Life Stable- God's Way- 8/30/2020

Here’s the challenge today: Invest you—into STABILITY.
Think about that family member who is always struggling through life. Why are they struggling? Because they have always invested wrong. You say, well, they didn’t have much to begin with. The beauty of investing is, it doesn’t matter how much you start with. When you invest right, whatever you have, grows.

When Good People do Something- God's Way- 8/23/2020

The only thing necessary for the triumph of good, is for good men to do something.
When God’s people stand up against evil, even if it is just a couple of people standing against the world, great things happen.
When good people do something, God does something.
