Friendship

This Sunday we conclude our Accelerate Series with the Habit of Friendship. As I was getting the message notes ready I realized that this message is already beginning to speak to me. Here are a few verses that stick out to me so far.

"Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family." - Provers 18:24

"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." - Matthew 6:14-15

"Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love." - Ephesians 4:2

"Never abandon a friend either yours or your father's. Then in your time of need, you won't have to ask your relatives for assistance. It is better to go to a neighbor than to a relative who lives far away." - Provers 27:10

How have you handled your friendship?
