Friendship in our society is on the decline. The average American has fewer friends and weaker friendships than ever. For followers of Jesus, that’s not just a social problem. It’s also a spiritual problem. So in today’s sermon, we’ll explore why Jesus prioritizes friendship, why Jesus never calls anybody to follow him alone, and how we can develop the kinds of friends God wants for us.
