Messy Church Pt. 5 – The Last 20%

Address the Mess.

Galatians 6:2 NIV

2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Proverbs 18:24 NIV

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 TLB

And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Practice being the kind of friend you’re looking for.

In your friendships, take your trusted few to the next level and begin talking and opening up about the last 20%.

LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION

1. Think about your best friend(s) growing up – the people with whom you chose to spend all of your time. Tell us about them. 
2. As you have become older, have your types of friends changed? If so, how? 
3. If you don’t currently have a friend you share that last 20% of yourself with, what could you do to create that type of friendship?
