Virtual Reality. Hired Mourners. Hired Friends. Fake Friends. All of this is an attempt to fill a void in the human spirit.
Humans were created to be relational beings. Because of our natural sociability, our knowledge, attraction and communication are reciprocal. This natural inclination transcends our own kind. Intuitively we see that the ultimate meaning for our life involves more than our relationship with other human beings. Our spirit wants to believe, worship and have a personal relationship with God. Relationships are important.
In this lesson we will discuss how to develop meaningful relationships. We will discover what God’s Word says about relationships with each other and with Him.
