Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - John 15:12-15 (John 15:12-15; Galatians 6:1-2; Proverbs 17:17; 18:24; 27:17; James 5:16; 1 Peter 4:9; Philippians 2:3-5)
Be the kind of friend you want to have.
Jesus redefines friendship as sacrificial love. Friendship isn’t about convenience — it’s about commitment, honesty, and shared pursuit of God. True friends challenge and encourage each other to grow spiritually.
Life would be easier if people were perfect — but God designed us to grow through relationships, not apart from them.
How to Human is a four-week Bible study about learning to love people the way God does — through connection, grace, forgiveness, friendship, and hospitality.
Each week takes a practical and biblical look at how to handle real-life relationships in a world full of imperfect people. Whether you’ve been hurt, frustrated, or just trying to be a better friend, this series helps believers rediscover God’s heart for human connection.
