Disciple: Connect - Cultivating Gospel Friendships - Brian Barr

OneLife Church

What kind of friendships are shaping your walk with Jesus? This week, Brian Barr explored Paul’s friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus, emphasizing the importance of Gospel-centered friendships. The church isn’t just a family in theory; it should be a family in practice too! So how can we practically live out friendship with each other? It’s helpful to consider our friendships within four key spheres: public, social, personal, and intimate/transparent. Each of these areas is essential for spiritual growth and discipleship. Jesus modeled this by forming deep, impactful relationships with His disciples across various contexts. By investing in friendships within these four areas, we can fully experience the richness of community, support, and the necessary challenges for growing in faith. This balanced approach helps us stay rooted in our faith and connected to the body of Christ.
