Sermon notes

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 

The 3 marks of close friendship that helps you experience the ultimate purpose of friendship

  • Affection
  • Covenant
  • Transparency

Darkness isn’t just the place we disobey; it’s the place where we hide.

The light isn’t just where we obey, but where we come out of hiding.

The purpose of friendship is discipleship.

Thomas Brooks says, “Let those be your choicest companions who have made Christ their chief companion.”
