Friends are an essential part of life. We need them to thrive. In fact, God has created us to be in community and with friends. Friends love you at your worst and can help you be your best, but many of us don’t realize the importance of the people we choose to surround ourselves with. The friends you have help determine the quality and direction of our life. Where are our friendships leading us? In this series, we will discuss what is needed to have the kind of friendships that God wants us to have.

This week we’ll discover the kind of friends that we all need to have. We'll look at the life of David and see that David had three friends in his life that helped him to be known as a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22). David had Samuel, who was a friend that made him better (1 Samuel 16:12-13). David had Jonathan, who was a friend who helped him find spiritual strength (1 Samuel 23:15-16). David also had Nathan, who was a friend that told him the truth (2 Samuel 12:7). Students understand that they will never become who God wants them to be if they don’t surround themselves with the right friends.

We kick off our series by discussing the friend that we need to be. Before they can FIND the right friends, they need to BE the right friend. We are going to look at two requirements for being a good friend. The first is the need to be present. Good friendships need to be face to face and not thumbs to thumbs. The second is the need to be open. We might impress people with our strengths but we connect with people by sharing our weaknesses! There is truth in the saying, show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.
