This week our journey through Proverbs takes us to the topic of friendship. So, to prepare for the sermon, I just went and checked my Facebook account and Mark Zuckerberg tells me that I have 420 friends. Now, I am sure that most of you will agree, that Mark’s definition of “friend” leaves a bit to be desired. In fact, I have Facebook friends, that I’ve never met and don’t really know at all.
So if Facebook isn’t the last word on friendship, what more do we need to know? Do we need to have friends? If so, why? How do we develop them and how can they impact us?
This week we want to listen to Lady Wisdom as she calls us to pursue friendships that go well below the surface and actually change who we are and how we experience the world.
