Formed in Friendship

November 2, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Proverbs 27:9, Mark 2

This Sunday, Devon continued our fall series, More Like Him. Spiritual formation isn’t about religious behavior but about transformation into Christ’s likeness in every part of life. Humans were created out of relationship by a relational God and therefore for relationship with one another. Sin, however, has fractured this design, leaving both beauty and brokenness in our friendships—deep joy and deep hurt. Using the story of the paralytic and his friends in Mark 2, Devon outlined three marks of formative friendship: intentionality, persistence, and faithfulness—friends who purposefully bring one another closer to Jesus. While good friendships are a gift, only Christ can fully satisfy the relational longing of our souls—the King who calls us “friend.”
