You Can and Should Meet All My Needs
There is a natural drive in each one of us toward independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency. The desire to press toward these things even influences the relationships in which we find ourselves. We don’t want to be perceived as someone who’s needy. But is it possible that being needy is a good thing? In this sermon, Pastor Jeff examines Romans 7 and talks about God’s plan for relationships and how admitting that we are needy can impact our relationship with God and with each other.

Is this God’s design for our relationships? Or, is it possible that this approach to relationships is what causes disruption in them? In this sermon, Pastor Jeff answers this question for us by taking us through Genesis 3.
