Much of the joy or sorrow we experience throughout life is the product of how well we develop, care for and manage our relationships.

Philippians 2:3-5

The Trouble Between Us:
Selfish Ambition = Unmet Expectations
Vain Conceit = Overrated Sense Of Self

The Trouble with basing our relationships on Happiness:
- Happiness is a moving target
- Happiness is getting my way
- Happiness is not a destination

Submit: A voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.

What is Love? God's View On Love And Relationships

Read Plan

LOVE TO GIVE, GIVE TO LOVE.

None of us can do it [ALL], but TOGETHER [ALL] of us can do so much. That's why giving is something we value at NorthRock. It's a individual decision to contribute to God's great purpose of telling the world about Christ. That's what "BEING THE CHURCH" is all about. We GIVE, we GATHER, we SERVE, and we SHOW the world around us the hope we have in Jesus. When we [ALL] do a little, God does so much. [Acts 2:44]
