Mes­sage: Rela­tion­ships Matter

We begin a new series about rela­tion­ships as we near fam­ily sum­mer hol­i­days of Mother’s Day, Memo­r­ial Day, and Father’s Day.

Today we begin by rec­og­niz­ing the vast pop­u­lar­ity of Face­book and we ask why?

Just take a moment and con­sider some of these Face­book Statistics…

  • 500,000,000 Active Face­book Users that’s 1 in every 13 peo­ple on earth.
  • 206.2 Mil­lion Inter­net Users in the U.S.A. and 71.2% Use Facebook.
  • 57% of Peo­ple say that they talk more online than they do in real life.
  • A record break­ing 750 mil­lion pho­tos were uploaded to Face­book over New Year’s Weekend.
  • In 20 min­utes on Face­book, 1 Mil­lion links are shared, 1.48 Mil­lion Event Invites, 1.32 Mil­lion Tagged Pho­tos, 1.85 Mil­lion Sta­tus Updates, 1.97 Mil­lion Friends Requests Accepted, 2.7 Mil­lion Pho­tos Uploaded, 2.7 Mil­lion Mes­sages Sent, 10.2 Mil­lion Com­ments Made, and 1.59 Mil­lion Wall Posts.

The final mes­sage in the CORE series. We are chal­lenged to share Jesus with one another and the peo­ple among whom God has placed us. Dur­ing this mes­sage we respond to the ‘what, with whom, when, where, how and why’ ques­tions about Shar­ing Jesus Everyday.

Today, we ask the ques­tions: “What have we been learn­ing in Jesus?” and “What is Jesus teach­ing us?”

We read from James 2 where James shares with the church the impor­tance and sig­nif­i­cance between faith and deeds. And we are chal­lenged to live what Jesus is teaching.
