04. You’ve got a Friend (1 John 2:1-2)

2024-07-02

I hung out with a bunch of different groups. I didn't just hang with one group and so I would kind of bounce around. But I'd even go to parties.

And I'd still just this emptiness inside. And I'd turn on James Taylor. And you know, when you're done, and you need help, and you know his music. And he's talking about a friendship that is committed when the bottom's falling out and everybody else has left you, you've got a friend.

Unfortunately, James sings in a lot of his music and he doesn't have any friends. He struggles with a lot of loneliness himself. Even when I've listened to him at concerts, I went to a couple of his concerts, and he shares it.

It's coming out of their own experiences most often. But I'll never forget that music because it really prompted me to understand how important it was for me to have a faithful friend.

Enjoy the rest of the message.

Blessings,
