BELOVED FriendSHIP

Sunday, February 20, 2022 Sermon Notes: BELOVED FriendSHIP   John 15:9-17 NIV <p>9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.</p> <p> </p> Proverbs 12:26 NIV <p>26 The righteous choose their friends carefully ,but the way of the wicked leads them astray.</p> <p> </p> Proverbs 18:24 MSG <p>24 Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family.</p>   Proverbs 17:17 NIV <p>17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.</p> <p> </p> Proverbs 17:17 MSG <p>17 Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.</p> <p> </p> Proverbs 17:9 NLT <p>9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Daily Scripture Readings  Week of February 21-26 BELOVED FriendSHIP   Monday - John 15:1-4 Tuesday - John 15:4-8 Wednesday - John 15:9-12 Thursday - John 15:13 Friday - John 15:14-16 Saturday - John 15:17     Prayer for this week: Gracious and Loving Holy God, Open my eyes and my ears My heart and my mind My hands and my feet To receive and respond To Your Word and Your Spirit Today and every day For my good and Your glory Which is
