REALationships is a four-week teaching series that helps students navigate the messy, meaningful, and faith-shaping dynamics of relationships. Each week unpacks a real relational challenge and gives students the tools to reflect Christ in how they live and love.
Week 1 - “Rejects” challenges students to see and love the people who are different or hard to love, just like Jesus did with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10, John 3:16–17).
Week 2 - “Equals” dives into friendships that shape us, helping students evaluate the kind of influence they give and receive (1 Corinthians 15:33, Job 1:1).
Week 3 - “Authority” teaches students how honoring authority is ultimately about honoring God, through Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees and a Roman coin (Matthew 22:15–22, Ephesians 6:1).
Week 4 - “Love” focuses on God’s design for love and dating, helping students reflect on their identity and how they express love (Genesis 2:15–25, 1 Corinthians 13:4–13).
REALationships provides thoughtful, honest, and deeply practical conversations with the hope of equipping students to build relationships that reflect the heart of Jesus.
