SUMMARY:Jesus and Relationships
DESCRIPTION:At the core of God lies a relationship between three persons – Father\, Son\, and Spirit – and being made in His image means that relationships are an important part of being human too. But how can we ensure that we foster the relationships we need to flourish\, and help others to do the same? This is precisely what we will be exploring in this series: Jesus and Relationships.
