Introduction
Why are Relationships so Important?
Father God is above all things, relational: God did not come to a fallen creation because heaven was lacking order or holiness.
He considered all of heaven and its perfection along with his own holiness secondary to restoring relationship with a messy and broken creation.
Consider the following:
· We are beings created in relationship - we were created in the image of a triune God in relationship.
[1]“Let us make man in our image” – we are created in the image of a relationship.
· We were created for relationship - God created us in His image to be in relationship with Himself.
We are called [2]“the bride”, “children”, “sons and daughters”, “brothers and sisters”; everywhere is the paradigm of intimate relationship.
· We continue to exist by relationship - We continue to exist as a creation only as long as we are willing to pursue and cooperate in relationship.
God has Called us to Bring His Kingdom
God hides the kingdom behind relationship:
From this statement we can draw two immediate conclusions:
1.
The Kingdom of God is hidden behind multiple locked doors.
2. It is necessary to operate in the “Kingdom keys” given us by Jesus to enter into, and walk consistently in His kingdom.
The first of these keys /principles is relationship; Jesus said He wasn’t showing up for the Lone Ranger;
By requiring relationship, he requires us to operate in that nature to walk in His kingdom.
Humility
Faith
Love
Submission
Sacrifice
Investment
Service
Honor
Stewardship
Kingdom Relationships achieve exponential results:
When 2 or more Christians cooperate in something, it is a non-linear equation.
Aristotle put it this way: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
Our ability to affect change in the earth increases exponentially when we network.
Knowing that we can greatly increase our impact in the earth through cooperative relationship, how then can we justify working alone?
Are All Relationships Good?
NO!
Paul then goes on to describe the armor...
Your sandals separated you from the world.
What does a healthy relationship look like?
Understanding Need vs. Purpose:
A healthy networking relationship is based upon common purposes, not common needs.
For example, take a marriage.
It shouldn’t complete us; it should rather extend and expand us; give the potential to be more fruitful in our wholeness.
If we are approaching a relationship from a position of lack, we are poised to take, rather than give, or even to exchange.
Healthy relationships occur when both parties are bringing complimentary assets to the table.
