Help I'm In A Family | Week 3 | The Mantle | Riverside

This week Katia spoke about the mantel, where we keep our most prized possessions.

Jesus never called us to put up a front or to act like we’ve got it all together. Instead, He calls us to love one another, to be real with each other, and to show grace. So, what would it look like if we, as a family - both our church family and in our biological families – what would it look like if we started to live more authentically?

What is one thing that I need to STOP doing that is preventing me from being authentic in my relationship with God and therefore in my relationships with other people?

(Fear of failure, Fear of rejection, insecurity)

What is one thing I need to START doing that will help me to pursue an authentic relationship with Jesus and therefore have authentic relationships with other people?

(Read my bible, be intentional about praying, get a mentor, be courageous, decide to trust, let go and forgive)

Let’s take responsibility for our actions, our words, and our lives. Let’s stop displaying the “perfect” version of ourselves and embrace the reality that we are all in need of God’s grace. Let’s love one another authentically, and in doing so, let’s create spaces where true healing, restoration, and growth can take place.
