Be a Good Friend - show notes

Friendship is such a huge part of what makes us feel valuable and fulfilled in life.

Friends can be our biggest support and strength, or they can be our greatest downfall

Proverbs 18:24 - KJV, NAS, Amp, ISV, Ops Tank, NRSV, NLT, Message
(Vast differences in how this verse is translated)

Let’s talk about what a good friend looks like…

#2 - Would you define yourself as someone who is a good friend?

#3 - If you think about the conversations and activities you do with your friends, are you setting an example of Jesus for them? Are they setting an example of Jesus for you

John 15:14-15 Amp

• Jesus defines His friends as the people who follow what He says
• He defines His friendship with us by saying that He shares what He knows with us

#4 - Based on this scripture, would you define yourself as a friend of Jesus?

Proverbs 17:17 NLT
Proverbs 27:9 Amp
