3. The Relationship Relationships are what life is all about -Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life Here’s an example of one- based on a true story.
4. The Relationship Christ is the King. Story was not entirely accurate - I disobeyed the King. Ignored him. Greatest Commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” -Matthew 22:37
5. The Relationship – What else? Girls Myself Impact of growing up without a father. Adapted to friends ways. Impact of losing mom. Depression. Insecurity.
6. The Relationship – Video Review “Resolved to descend” “Renounced his throne” “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.” -Philippians 2:6-8
7. The Relationship – Video Review “To declare his love” “God demonstrates his own love for is in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:8 “And to win mine” “We love because he first loved us.” -1 John 5:19

10. The Rock Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. -Matthew 7:24
11. The Rock “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -John 13:34-35
12. The Rock – Body of Christ Love of Christ through Rockers Are you doing the same?
14. The Rock - Relationships “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality or any kind of greed…because these are improper for God’s holy people” - Ephesians 5:3 “Treat [the] women as sisters, with absolute purity.” - 1 Timothy 5:2
16. The Reflection It will never be worth it on your own strength, or for your own glory.
17. The Reflection Choose to become Christ’s lover. Choose to become a Rocker. It is worth it.
Editor's Notes
ChelseaFor thoseWelcome, thanks for comin’.I was also asked to share a little bit about my story.Jake no music.Gary title- 22 years in 22 minutesRory- 3 points The Relationship, Rock, Reflection.Stand up, shake around.
Valentine’s Day. Relationships are on people’s minds. Singles awareness day. Relationships are important. Not just guy girl, but with everyone. This is an example of one relationship. It’s presented like Medieval, or fairy tale, but it’s actually based on a true story. Video
Actually based on my life. My relationship w/ Jesus Christ. He is the King, and he was that desperately in love with me. Not all stories based on true stories are accurate. Actually in reality, I disobeyed the King. I ignored him. Jesus – Greatest CommandI certainly hadn’t, and haven’t done that. That alone means I would stand guilty before God. What did I give my heart and soul and mind to growing up?
No father. Divorced. Man household age 3. No proper training. Friends taught me. How to act, how to think, they thought about girls. I did too. Main thing that consumed my thoughts. Why I can relate to this video. Relationships are what I have been used to thinking about for the large portion of my life. It wasn’t just relationship though, adultery. (vday song) Normally ppl depend on and love their moms. Growing up without a father only increased that for me. Difficult April 19, 2002Depression. Insecurity.No psychologist, impact my relationship with other women. Tried to obtain what I got from my mom in other women. Attention. Affection. To matter. This insecurity developed into an unholy ambition for self display and self glory. An obsession with my importance. 1st commandment is to have no other Gods. I fought for the title of God of my life. Christ came in. Look at video, why based on my life.
Most important relationship of my life.Coming to the RockSC bible studiesConvos w Mike JesusBut really, what got me, was you guys. Rockers
Meeting time.Wise man.
You about Jesus. I didn’t mind. Care. Loved me. Without reason,explanation, expectation. When it was inconvenient and hard, you still loved me. Love had to have come from somewhere. The Rock is not a building. (never same one) Not just a Meeting or Organization.
Believers together as a unit make up the body of Christ. Christ’s representatives. As we obey him, we act on his behalf. Christ loves others through us. Christ showed me his love through you!How many started coming, not because it was christian, but because of the love of the person inviting you?You appreciated it? Your friends would too! Loved, befriended, treated. Are you?
Family- None in omaha? Blood relativesArmy- Mission, Change the world, eternity, great work, noble taskInvade somewhere. They were. Friends- Recently.Different. Family no choice. Army, there’s always a battle. Friends you choose. Count on. Share life with.You are my friends.
