Friendsgiving: Gospel Friendship - Arborway Community Church

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

November 24, 2024 • John 5:12–17

Life is a journey. And it's a journey best made with Christ. We close our series on Biblical friendship by looking at the most important friendship that anyone can have: Friendship with Jesus. We will see that the most amazing thing is not that Jesus would be our friend (Which is amazing!), but the most amazing thing is that Jesus wants to be our friend. Watch this week as Pastor Ivey helps us see how friendship with Jesus revolutionizes our lives by making us better people in every aspect of life.
