Abiding Together
We all want homes, marriages, families, and friendships that are fruitful. We want relationships that are marked by love, joy, and peace. But when we look at the reality of our lives, there is often a massive gap between what we want our relationships to look like and how they actually look. And when we see that gap, most of us default to the same strategy of trying to manufacture the fruit.

In this series, we’ll look together at how abiding in Christ will transform the relationships in your life.
