Preached 16th August 2026.
This Sunday, in John 15, Jesus will say to his small band of disciples, ‘I have called your friends’. It is what he calls any one of us, as we come to put our faith in him. And what a friend we have in Jesus! The one who can say, because of his love (John 15.13) - friend, your sins are forgiven. The friend who promises to walk with us through the valley. The friend who can lead us safe, home, to the place he has prepared for us. What friend!
