We all need a core group of friends who walk through the hardest parts of life with us. But what would it look like to actually be that kind of friend for someone else? In this final message of this series, we will look at the call for all of us to raise our hands in support of others.

How far will your friends go to help you? How far will you go to help them? Do you have a core group of friends who will do whatever it takes to come alongside you in crisis? In this message, we will look at a friend group that took extreme measures to bring their friend to Jesus and learn some qualities that we can emulate with our friends.

Many of us have friends who will be there when things are good, but do you have the kind of friends who will show up for you when things are terrible? In this message, we will examine how a core group of friends can show up well when we are in crisis by looking at the tragic Old Testament story of Job.

We all long for deeper and better friendships. We want to have that core group of friends who are with us through the ups and downs. But statistically, most people in America struggle to find those people. In this message, we will look at how Jesus spent his time with his closest friends and learn about the 200-hour rule and how it applies to our friendship-building efforts. This will be useful to us as we use our time to build lasting relationships!

Connecting theory to practice can be tricky. You might theoretically understand how to fish, dance the samba, make friends (and influence people), or split atoms, but actually doing them is a very different thing entirely. The same goes for worshipping God. How do we go from worship being something that we logically understand to something that we intentionally practice?

Money can fly out of our pockets in many ways. Sometimes it seems like we don’t even know where the money goes. In this message we will look at different ways to use money and how we can align our usage of money with God’s heart for the world. We will also look at some ways we can avoid becoming greedy in a world that encourages us to constantly acquire more.
