Relate Church

There is something about eating together that brings relationships closer. If you want to get to know someone better, you invite them out to eat.
When you sit down and begin reading His word, you are dining at the table of God. And God begins to teach you, converse with you and enjoy a moment with you. God wants to eat with you.

When it comes to the real issues in our lives, our daily struggles, we need to choose a team. Your basketball team can win or lose and it really doesn’t affect your life. But if you win or lose money, it does. If you are healthy today, that affects your life in a big way. We cheer and cheer for these athletes to win like it really matters to our lives, but when do we cheer for what REALLY MATTERS?
Let God manage your fights. God wants to give you a taste of victory.

How many times in your life was the answer to your problem was right there? But instead of asking God “what is the answer?”, you just dismissed it.
Is it possible that the answers to your greatest problems are right here, right now, but you haven’t recognized them? It’s time to look around you and ask, “What is it?”
Here’s what IT is: IT is a relationship that gives salvation- a relationship with God.

When difficult things happen, or we meet resistance in life, we have a tendency to get stuck and never get on to the things God created us for. But if you begin moving, God will open a path for your deliverance. Your past---the one that is chasing you down and trying to take you back, can be destroyed. God will be seen in your life!

The church is not built on superstition, or man-made tradition. It’s better than that.
Our faith is not just some hope-crutch. It’s not a dream without proof. It’s not the handy-mind work of some guy smoking pot who had a vision.
Who we believe in, the God we serve is real. And all the earth is filled with His Story with us, and the people who served Him before us.

God is relentless in His attempts to get you free from the enemy.
Just look how determined He was…. That same determination was seen on the Cross. When Jesus died, He was determined to set you free!
What has life been telling you? Have you been receiving the messages? You can choose to believe that either God loves or hates you. The good and bad things of life are going to draw you closer to Him, or you will choose to be like Pharaoh and harden your heart against Him.

The enemy of your soul wants you to stay where you are. He will tell you all day long there is no hope. You’ll never recover. You’ll never be better. You’ll never get free from that addiction. You need to decide to believe in your future. Believe in your better days to come—that God hasn’t forgotten you.

We don’t believe in God because the Bible says so, we believe because GOD HIMSELF CAME AND SAID SO. God has clearly communicated who He is, what He likes, and what He does. And He has completely set us free to want to know all of that. 

“Garbage in, garbage out.” The opposite is obviously true too. Intentionally decide every day to allow “healthy in” to your senses.
When you wake up, let it become a habit, “God, good morning. I decide today to only let “healthy in” to my life today.

When God came as a baby, He laid in the manger, completely vulnerable to all of humanity.
He was making a statement… "I’ve come for everyone. I came into this world just like all of you. I’m not a threat to you..."
Jesus Came for Everyone.
