Introduction
1. What we did at VBS each day was to go through the relationship we have with God, and that's going to be the message this morning. But the big idea is this: The Bible is God's story of His relationship with man. That's what the Bible is. It's history-it's God's history-and it's how He relates and we relate to Him.
2. We are created to have relationships. If you go to the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis chapter 2, you will see that God creates man. He created Adam and Eve. And God said, "It is not good for man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18). Why is it not good for man to be alone? Before we go deeper into our message, let's start with three reasons that it's not good to be alone.

I didn't take the garbage out the night before because our garage door broke. The torsion spring was broken and I couldn't get the door up. I heard him coming, and I was hurrying and trying to get outside and trying to open it with one hand. I had to help it because it only had one spring. I finally pushed it up and got the garbage out, and the driver was sitting there waiting for me. I brought it out in my shorts and waved to him and then went back inside. That was terrible-I needed help! When you're alone, there's nobody to help you. Now, you might be one of those individuals who doesn't need help. You're self-sufficient. You can help others, but you don't need help.
4. THERE'S NO ONE TO STOP YOU WHEN YOU NEED TO STOP
But how about the second reason? A good reason not to be alone is this: There's no one to stop you when you need to be stopped. I learned th ...
