Synopsis "Flourishing Friendships: Biblical, Intentional, Authentic (in English)"
This is a 4-week study that is based on biblical principles of friendship which include commitment, communication, and community.Together we will explore the enduring witness of the good Samaritan, Zacchaeus, David the psalmist, Paul the apostle, Peter the disciple, and of course, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This Bible study is by no means exhaustive, but it is meant to be a springboard, causing all of us to dive a little deeper and to hear from the Lord on friendship. Jesus truly cares about our friendships because it is within the context of community that He is revealed. They will know we are Christians by our love. If you are desiring deeper friendship with others, this study based on God's plan for community is for you.
