"What a Friend!" (1 John 5:1-6, John 15:9-17)
Rev. Dr. Marjorie E. Nunes, May 6, 2018Part of the Sunday series, preached at a Sunday service
Friends and Friendship: The Clergy Journal shared disturbing information about making friends. 60% of men over 30 cannot identify a single person they would call a close friend. Of the 40% who list friends, most were made during childhood or school years. Most women can identify 5 or 6 women whom they call close friends. A closer look shows that a lot of these were functional relationships. Friendship is not easy to develop. The Gospel lesson is about friends and friendship. If it has never occurred to you before, note that Christians were called "friends" before they were called Christians. That's right!
