Relationslips: Every Family Has a Story A Study of Genesis From the very beginning God’s people have had complex relationships. Regardless of how relationships are defined, being in relation to another human being is work that requires grace, reconciliation, and respect. Using the complex family dynamics found throughout the book of Genesis, we will begin to uncover the joys and struggles of living life in community.
