Last week, we talked about kids—and how Jesus didn’t just welcome them, He pointed to them as the example of real, humble, trusting belief. As a church, we've been gifted with a generation that shows us what it means to enter the kingdom of God with open hearts.

Today, we shift our focus to another powerful part of our faith journey: friendship. It's a gift, yes—but it’s also a challenge and a calling. We were never meant to walk alone. From the very beginning, we were built for community.

So let’s lean in, listen well, and start building something that lasts.

Passage: John 15:9-15 CEB
