Sunday Morning | June 15, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY
In the sermon "What Proverbs Says About Friends" from Proverbs 27, Pastor John explored the biblical portrait of true friendship using the acronym F.R.I.E.N.D.S. True friends are Faithful, loving consistently through all seasons of life (Prov 17:17; 18:24), not driven by gain (19:4), and are Reputable, avoiding harmful influences and walking with the wise (13:20; 1 Cor 15:33). They offer Intentional Advice (27:9), steering clear of extremes like flattery or harshness. They speak words that Encourage, build up, and give grace (Eph 4:29), not harm or annoyance (Prov 27:14-15). A true friend is also Nearby, showing up in need and adversity (27:10), not just in convenience. A good friend is also Direct, willing to offer loving correction (27:5-6), and Sharpening, “Iron sharpens iron and one person sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17. Proverbs teaches that godly friendships are intentional, truth-filled, and rooted in love and wisdom.
