We either focus on finding the right friends or becoming the right friend.

1. Jesus knew His friends. Do you know your friends?

Fight through the fake.

We can impress people with our strengths, but we connect over our weaknesses.

2. Jesus loved His friends. Do you love your friends?

We can give without love but we can't love without giving.

Get over yourself!

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's self-centeredness.

3. Jesus challenged His friends. Do you challenge your friends?

Challenge: to encourage someone to follow Jesus beyond their current comfort level.

Overcome the fear of conflict.

4. Jesus celebrated His friends. Do you celebrate your friends?

Stop comparing!

What's the next step God is calling you to take today?

If you’re interested in learning more about Hope Church, Growth Track is a great next step. It’s a 3-part video series where you can learn more about Hope Church Movement, become a member, and start living on mission. We’ll be starting it up in September.

Survivor Weekend is next weekend! It’s going to be an epic weekend full of music, camping, and competitions you don't want to miss.

We’re all in on Survivor Weekend as a Church! So much so that we won't have an in-person service next Sunday because we’ll all be up at camp!
So whether you’re a student or a city member, don’t come to service next week but join us at Survivor!
