Faithful Friends

June 29, 2025

Proverbs 27:17 NLT – “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”

 

Three elements of God honoring friendships:

 

  1. Trust– Proverbs 11:13, 17:9, and 20:19

 

–      If we want friends that we can trust, then we must seek to be the kind of friends that others can trust. 

 

  1. Generosity– Romans 15:1-2, Colossians 3:12-14

 

–      Those within the church need to learn how to “bear with” one another. 

 

  1. Reciprocity– Luke 6:31

 

–      The Golden Rule of relationship building leads us to answer the question of, “What is it we are looking for in a God-honoring friend?” 

–      Once we have the answer, we need to ask the Lord to help us be that kind of friend first.
