THIS WEEKEND’S LESSON
Jon Henninger | Lead Pastor
Week 1 - Our Relationships
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone..”
Genesis 2:18
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
Proverbs 27:17
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.
Ecclesiastes 4:9
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
37“‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40
8While the people of Israel were still at Rephidim, the warriors of Amalek attacked them. 9Moses commanded Joshua, “Choose some men to go out and fight the army of Amalek for us. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.” 10So Joshua did what Moses had commanded and fought the army of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. 11As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage. 12Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. 13As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle.
Exodus 17:8-13
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Colossians 3:12
If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense.
Matthew 18:15
Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
Ephesians 4:2
We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
Romans 12:5
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
