Savior: Jesus restores your relationship. April 6, 2025

All relationships have problems. Failed relationships aren’t necessarily caused by big issues like abuse. More likely, failed relationships are the accumulation of many little things brought on by neglect and disconnection.

We’ve all neglected our relationship with God. We don’t keep the sabbath, we worship the idols of consumerism and materialism, and we fail to help the needy. You could say, God is like that friend should call but you never get around to it.

Jesus, however, got around to dealing with the disconnect. He died on the cross so God could be close to us in a relationship we give freely, by choice.

Jesus restores our relationship with God. This week, Pastor Mia reminds us that following Christ and modeling our lives after him improves all of our relationships. When we stop trying to save ourselves, our relationships change because we are free to love and care for each other.
