We were not created to "do life" alone. Part of our very good (as it's meant to be) design is to be in authentic community with others.

This sermon discusses the discipline of relational intentionality in fostering transformation and connection. It acknowledges the failure of typical resolutions and suggests that the problem lies in our method of change. Jesus' life and teachings are used as examples of intentional practices that shaped his character. Relational intentionality involves actively seeking connections with others, following Jesus' example of presence, connection, and commitment. The sermon challenges the congregation to apply this discipline to their own lives, nurturing relationships and fostering a community of love and transformation.

Compassion leads to responsibility, which leads to a willing spirit that takes action in the lives of others.
