Today we are finishing our two part series on biblical friendship. Last week we looked at what the Bible had to say about friendship, this week I want to direct your attention to a series of qualities that I want to call friendship builders, friendship breakers and friendship bunkers. These are biblical qualities that can make or break your friendships.

Over this week and next we are going to be digging into the topic of friendship and what the Bible has to say about healthy friendships. We will look at how the Bible defines friendships and then a series of qualities that I want to call Friendship Builders, Friendship breakers and Friendship bunkers.

Many of us are looking for answers after the events in Washington on January 6, 2021. I cannot explain why, but I can say that this week has served as a reminder to the potency of sin and how much each one of us needs the forgiveness of Jesus.

Today I want to ask you to put aside your greeting card memories of the wisemen in the Christmas story and hear in their story that in Jesus kingdom there is a place for everyone, even the most unlikely of people, the three wisemen teach us a lesson in worship that is dangerous, sacrificial and regal.
