True Friends: How to Choose the Right People and Be One Yourself
It’s been said that “bad company corrupts good character” and “a man is known by the company he keeps.” Which begs the question: what makes someone a good friend? Friendship is something we all longs for because it’s something that God designed us for. And friendship is powerful! It can bring some of the greatest joy in life and point you toward wisdom, holiness, and Jesus. But it can also bring some of the deepest pain. It can drag you into foolishness, compromise, and even regret. In this final message from our Walking Wisely in a Fool’s World sermon series, Pastor Dan unpacks what Proverbs teach us about friendship: the difference between wise friends and foolish friends, and how to both choose the right kind of people to walk with and become that kind of friend yourself. Tune into discover how Good friends reflect Jesus as they they guide us in his wisdom, guard us in his love, and grow us in his truth!
