Friends of Jesus - Finding Friendship In the Way of Jesus
In this opening message of Friends of Jesus, Pastor Joe looks at the friendship Jesus shared with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, showing that Jesus not only ministered to others, but also made space to be ministered to by friends. In a world marked by loneliness and busyness, this sermon invites us to consider who our “Bethany people” and places are—those relationships and spaces where we find belonging, refuge, and encouragement. As we follow the way of Jesus, we’re challenged to build friendship into everyday life and make room for deeper community with both Jesus and others.
