    Relational traps are positioned for us all throughout our lives. Often we are able to break free through God's Word, prayer, or worship.

    The Bible references the phrase "one another" many times and in both positive and negative situations. All are for us to learn how to care, love, and respond to people in our lives and on earth.But one of the most challenging part of living the "one anothers" is knowing "which" people we're supposed to treat in which way. This Sunday, Pastor Tim walks us though how Jesus treated one another's, from Pharisees, to his disciples, to people he meets on the streets. There's nobody that was outside of God's love -- and Jesus not only shows us the way, He IS the way.
