Others

God created people as social beings. It’s how we were wired from the beginning. He designed us to be in relationships that are good, harmonious, and just. Today, our world is filled with conflict–with family members, neighbours, co-workers, and strangers. Competition and suspicion now mark our social interactions. But the good news is, reconciliation with others is possible. Through Jesus, we can overcome relational poverty to restore trust, peace, and justice.
