WEEK 5 | WE NEED FRIENDS
Wisdom at Home Series | Pastor Craig Turnbull

In Week 5 of Wisdom at Home, Pastor Craig explores what Proverbs teaches about authentic friendship. In a world filled with digital connection but deep loneliness, Scripture reminds us that isolation is dangerous and community is essential. God designed us for real, sacrificial relationships that sharpen, protect, and strengthen us.

Through five biblical principles—Connect, Select, Correct, Protect, and Reflect—this message challenges us to pursue wise friendships and to become faithful friends ourselves.

Key Takeaways:

• Isolation leads to danger and self-deception.
• Wise friends shape a wise life.
• Loving correction strengthens real relationships.
• Gossip destroys trust and unity.
• Sacrifice is the foundation of true friendship.
