This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today, we continue in a series called Better Together.

In this series, Rick takes us through 1 Corinthians chapter 13 and shows us how to cultivate deep, meaningful relationships with the people around us.

In just a few moments, we're going to tell you how you can get a copy of Pastor Rick's book called God's Power to Change Your Life.

In it, you'll discover how God provides the power you need to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with Part 1 of a message called Reaching Out Together.

Now, last week, I talked about how you were created for five purposes.

But those five purposes that God has for your life cannot be fulfilled on your own.

You have to have other people in your life.

We are wired for relationships. God said it is not good for man to be alone. God hates loneliness.

And so, He wants us to be in community with each other.

Now, you don't need 100 friends, but you do need 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 that are really there with you.

And the tragedy is most people today don't have a single intimate friend.

They've got a lot of acquaintances, but they don't have anybody who's really looking out for their spiritual growth,

who's helping them, who says, I'm going to be there no matter what happens in your life.

And so, we're going to be looking at how to deepen relationships and why relationships go bad and how do you turn them around.

Now, today, we're going to end with the last purpose.

We're going to start with the end. The last purpose for your life is your made for a mission.

God wants you to share His love with other people, with your friends, with your family, with the people you work with,

and to show His love to those who don't know Christ yet, who are not in His family.
