Stop Faking It

(Romans 12:9-21) Relationships can be hard at times, rather than being life-giving they can begin to throw out sparks. Yet they are essential for who we are as people. So how are we meant to make sure our relationships operate well? Paul challenges us in Romans 12 to stop sowing fake love to people and instead, begin truly loving them. He then unpacks what that looks like, including when people don't respond in the same way back.
