Topic: “You’ve Got A Friend: A Study in Biblical Friendship”

Life’s hardest moments, even if they may seem impossible to overcome at the time, are not devoid of purpose. They are profound opportunities for spiritual growth and a renewed awareness of God’s faithfulness to those who trust in Him. However, we can quickly feel isolated without having faithful friends to come along beside us during difficult times. That’s why God’s Word encourages us to embrace covenant friendships.
