First Covenant Church
You Will See the Glory
The shortest verse in the Bible is: "Jesus wept." Jesus, the hope of the world showed profound human emotion as he cried at the loss of a friend. Jesus is with us in our darkest moments delivering hope beyond our expectations.

Small Group Questions
This small group season runs from January 15 – March 5.
1) Mary & Martha were good friends with Jesus. Who are your good friends and what makes a good friendship?
2) What elements go into maintaining and growing a friendship? (note the C. S. Lewis quote below)
3) Do you consider yourself simply a follower of Jesus, or are you a friend of Jesus?
4) Read John 15:9-17. What qualities is Jesus looking for in a friend?
5) What are some practical ways you have used (or could use) to develop a friendship with Jesus?
“Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden). The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one...It is when two such persons discover one another, when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their vision - it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand together in an immense solitude.”
