JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is Faithfulness.

This is one of the qualities found in the fruit of the Spirit.

God’s faithfulness is a consistent theme throughout the Bible. Lamentations 3:23 tells us that God’s compassions are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

To be faithful is to be reliable and trustworthy. Walking with Jesus will train us to live with godly integrity, keep our commitments, stay true to our promises, and be loyal to our friends.

One example of faithfulness in the Bible was a man named Epaphras. The Apostle Paul described him as a faithful minister of Christ. He taught the Colossian church about God’s grace. He was also faithful in prayer for God’s people to stand firm in all the will of God.

Jesus taught that whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.

Faithfulness is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.
