What is a True Friend?

Aug 2, 2026    Pastor Andy Shanks

Take a moment to think back to when you were in school and think about the friends you had growing up. What characteristics made them good friends or perhaps not such good friends?


Now fast forward to today and ask the same question about those who you currently call friends. Finally, ask yourself what kind of friend you are to others.


Ephesians 4 talks about building up the body of Christ, however the same principles found in members of a church should be found in true friendships.


This morning we will explore what these characteristics are, and ask if these are the things we are looking for in friendships and if we are that type of friend.
