Selfishness is at an all-time high. And it is no wonder that relationships are at an all time low. There is definitely a connection between being selfish and being lonely.

Relationships: Going from Me to We – Love is Kind
We are building a bridge of love from Me to We in our journey through 1 Corinthians 13. There are five necessary beams that support this bridge of love: Patience, Kindness, Selflessness, Honesty & Perseverance. In this message, Pastor John spends time unpacking kindness and makes the argument that the local church should be known for her kindness. And, if you are going from “Me to We” then kindness will be required to get there!
