Efesu'en 4:3

They drain your joy, eat up your time, and rain on your parade—but there’s a better way to view difficult people. Let’s learn how to heal the relationships that suck the life out of us. Get ready for God to do His life-giving work when you start this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Relational Vampires . 

Having a baby changes everything. It’s like this little life becomes a new center of gravity, pulling the rest of your world into its orbit. It’s hard to know how to get ready for such an unknown like having a newborn. Prepare practically and spiritually to deeply enjoy and thrive in one the hardest and most beautiful seasons of your life.

Paul, a liberated prisoner of the Lord, begged the church at Ephesus “to walk in a manner worthy of the calling.” We are the Father’s representatives on earth and our calling is to represent Him well. As you strive to live a vibrant life or an abundant life, you become more certain of His calling and choosing of you.

What truly matters is loving God and loving others, but how do we do that effectively? The truth is, we can’t love people well in our own power. But when we look to God and lay ourselves down in humility, we can live from God’s authentic and powerful love. Learn more about growing in love in this 5-day Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel.
