RELATIONAL CHALLENGES OF OUR AGE • Digital Domination • Isolation and Loneliness • Individualization • Mistrust and Cynicism FACING THESE CHALLENGES WITHIN THE CHURCH 1. Be honest about our failures in these areas as parents, pastors, and leaders. 2. We must answer the questions of the heart as much as the questions of the head. • Am I loved? • Who cares about me? • Who are my friends? John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: 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.” Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” 3. Model the value of godly relationships and especially friendships in our lives. I Peter 4:8-9 “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.” Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” 4. Get off your devices. 5. Intentionally create intergenerational connection within the church. 6. Invest your life down into meaningful relationships. Philippians 3:17 “Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.” (NET) Copyright © Tim Lundy To download the sermon notes and discussion questions click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10jSs...
