September 28, 2025 [Speaker: Pastor John Sitcler] – Today, we continue our series “We Make Friends.”  Throughout this series we will seek to understand with whom God wants us to make friends, how He wants us to do that, and the effect we can have on others when we do.  Hopefully, each one of us will discover the joy that comes from making new friends.  Most important, we will align ourselves with God’s greater purpose for our lives by simply making friends.

“Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.  But Jesus replied, ‘I have a kind of food you know nothing about.’  ‘Did someone bring him food while we were gone?’ the disciples asked each other.  Then Jesus explained: ‘My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.’”  (John 4:31-34)

Satisfy your soul by sharing Jesus with friends – old and new.
