The Power of a Godly Friend
In the story of David and Jonathan, we learn that a good and godly friend can save your life. There are friends that are good but not very godly. And there are acquaintances who are godly but just not close enough to really know you or help you. But a good and godly friend will join the work that God is doing and will reflect the work that God has done in the gospel. There is no higher calling for a Christian than to be a godly friend. This sermon is part of the Shepherd to King series. Recorded on July 16, 2017, by Pastor David […]
