Friendship – The Pathway to Growth
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Building Friendships is worth the cost:
1. We need friends to help us when we fall.
2. We need friends to help when they fall.
How do we do it?
1. Seek to serve rather than to be served.
2. Be generous with encouragement and stingy with criticism.
3. Put God in the friendship equation.
