KEEPING THE MAIN THINGS THE MAIN THINGS- Pt 4 k1a45

KEEPING THE MAIN THINGS, THE MAIN THINGS Friendship WHY BUILD CARING FRIENDSHIPS 1. Because Every Person Needs a Friend Who Cares, I’ll Become a Wingman “Some friendships don’t last, but some friendships are more loyal than brothers.” Proverbs 18:24 The type of friend I am, is the type of friend I’ll attract. 2. Because Every Heart Needs the Warmth of Love, I’ll Be a Fire Builder “When they got there (to shore), they saw that a charcoal fire was burning and fish were frying over it, and there was bread...” Now come have breakfast!’ Jesus said.” John 21:9, 12 NLT “Once we were safe on shore, we learned that we were on the island of Malta. The people of the island were very kind to us. It was cold and rainy, so they built a fire on the shore to welcome us and warm us.” Acts 28:1,2 NLT 3. Because Every Seed Needs a Chance, I’ll Be a Gardener “A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The plants sprang up quickly, but they soon wilted beneath the hot sun and died because the roots had no nourishment in the shallow soil. Other seeds fell among thorns that shot up and choked out the tender blades. But some seeds fell on fertile soil and produced a crop…” Matthew 13:3-8 NLT “Well, some of you planted. Others of you came along later and gave water or care…then God caused it to grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 532q35
