You’ve Got a Friend in Me: October 6-November 24, 2024

 Americans are facing a crisis of friendship. The average American hasn’t made a new friend in the last five years. Nearly one in five Americans report having no close social connections. Fifteen percent of men have no close friendships at all, a fivefold increase since 1990.⁸ We were not made to be alone and friendless in the world. This fall series will explore several friendships of the Bible where we will see how God reveals Godself through meaningful friendships and comforts and sustains us when friends hurt or disappoint us all in an effort to help us make and be good friends.     

Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 9:00 am: Fierce Friends – Ruth 1:1-5, 11-13, 16-19

Ruth and Naomi’s relationship began as in-laws. But a shared tragedy forged them into fierce friendship who clung together through thick and thin the rest of their lives, just as God clings to us through the thick and thin in our lives. Join us as we open this series on friendship.

Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 9:00am: Best Friends Forever – 1 Samuel 18:1-4; 1 Samuel 20:41-42 

 The friendship shared between David and Jonathan is enviable. They became very close, very fast. It is a friendship that lasted all their days. It was like God made them for each other and as a result they were bound together by a covenant. Join us this Sunday as we examine one of the most intimate friendships in the Bible

Sunday, October 20, 2024 at 9 am: Praying Friends – Daniel 2:17-23 

Daniel was between a rock and a hard place. Desperate, he turned to his friends and asked them to pray for him. God heard the prayers of his friends. From this story we learn the power of praying friends. Join us as we visit with Daniel before the lion’s den and learn how to be praying friends.     

Sunday, October 26, 2024 at 9 am: I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends – Mark 2:1-12

For as much as we want to be independent and self-sufficient, sometimes we need help. In fact, there are times we wouldn’t make it without people to carry us. The Beatles sing the truth of this in their famous hit, but Jesus shows us the power of the faith of our friends in this sermon. 

Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 9 am: All Saints Sunday, What Happens When Friends Die? 2 Samuel 1:1-4; 11-12; 17-27

Earlier in this series we explored the friendship between Jonathan and David, one of the closest friendships in the Bible. Now David loses his best friend in battle and it nearly wrecks him. Join us for this All-Saints Sunday where we will see how God sustains us in our grief.   

Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 9 am: Can We Still Be Friends? Acts 13:1-3, 42-43; 15:36-41 

No matter the outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election, there is a good chance good friendships could be broken. Of course, politics aren’t the only things that divide friends. Paul and Barnabas were once good friends, partners even, and eventually they had to go their sperate ways. Join us this Sunday as we see how God redeems broken friendships.  

Sunday, November 17, 2024 at 9 am: When Friends Betray Us – Mk 14:10, 17-21, 41-46; Phil 2:5-11

Sometimes, without even knowing why, a good friend will betray us. Jesus was betrayed with kiss by his friend Judas and unfortunately, we don’t see them ever having the chance to reconcile. Join us this Sunday as we find hope to give ourselves to others when we experience betrayal.  

Sunday, November 24, 2024 at 9 am: When Friends Blow It – John 21:15-19 

Even a good friend will make a mistake. Jesus’ friend Peter had a propensity to blow it -a lot- and with much heartache. Jesus shows us how friendships can be restored. Join us this Sunday as we conclude this series on what the Bible shows us about friendship.
