Publisher's Synopsis
Like Glue Bible Study Book includes a small group experience for six sessions, applicable Scripture, key word study, and a life application section called "Live It Out."We were created to live in relationship with others. John Donne said, "No man is an island," pointing to the interconnectedness we have with each other. And while it's true that you and I live in some relationship with all those around us, good relationships are not automatic. The truth is that relationships take work. Because two people work at the same place or live in the same house does not automatically mean there is a strong relationship between the two. Just as the right glue can create a tight bond between two objects, there are certain things we can do to create a strong bond with another person. This study unpacks six "bonding agents" that can be used to create a strong connection between people, whether they are family members, coworkers, friends, or neighbors.Session titles: Stick with Love (John 15:9-14) Stick with Encouragement (Acts 9:26-28; 11:21-26) Stick with Forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-28; 32-33) Stick with Service (Galatians 5:13-15; 6:1-5,10) Stick with Humility (Philippians 2:1-5, 13-15) Stick with Acceptance (Romans 14:1-4, 13-19)Features: Biblically rooted and gospel-centered content Life application-based, topical studies Streamlined experience Commentary and word study Sermon outlines available at www.biblestudiesforlife.comBenefits: Get practical help in handling relationships Discover the crucial components of relationships that work and six attributes of relationships that last Learn how to respond to difficult relationships Get biblical insight for your life...todayAuthor: Ben Mandrell serves as Senior Pastor of Storyline Fellowship in Denver, CO.
