A 5-Week Bible Study to Build Your Relationship with Christ This Summer

From the moment we become believers, we should grow in our relationship with Christ. Unfortunately, due to various factors, many of us never grow in our walk with the Lord. Sometimes, this is due to a lack of discipleship or a lack of support from other Christians. In either case, it is vital to start working on your relationship with Christ as soon as possible, even if you have struggled in the past. 

Many people think that we have to possess special knowledge, undergo intensive training, or go to church every Sunday to build our relationship with Jesus. While all of these things can be helpful, they are not required for true growth. We can grow in our relationship with Christ by simply talking with Him in prayer, reading the Bible, leaning on Him, and applying the teachings of the Bible to our lives. 

Throughout this five-week Bible study, we will be working on building our relationship with Jesus this summer. Whether you are a new believer or have known Christ for many years, this study will help you draw closer to Him. Complete this Bible study independently, or do it with others for a summertime group Bible study. Think about what will help you best and take your time as you complete the upcoming weeks.
