12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is…

Pastor Josh is remote in this edition of Extra Takes, from Tennessee. Matt Shiles guides the discussion from the regular studio at Northland as they look into some of the details regarding this week's sermon on biblical friendship. After Pastor Josh takes a brief walk down memory lane, he digs into the differences in the different levels of friendship and what it takes for a "Biblical Friendship", and what the real benefits of such a relationship are. 

Proverbs While a friend is a neighborly disposition towards all people we encounter that adds functionality and flourishing to their life, Proverbs teaches a deeper understanding of being a friend, called friendship. Biblical Friendship is the vehicle God uses to help us function and flourish in our humanity (how we relate, create, and operate) as we traverse through the sea of life on our way to eternal life. This kind of friendship is hard to find, but we know we can find it in Jesus Christ, our friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Friends are a blessing in life. At times you may find yourself among many friends and at times with just one or two close friends. Some may be stuck in exile on a remote island, or solitary confinement and yet enjoy a close friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ. In this message, we highlight what God teaches in His Word about friendship.

One of our members asked us to chat about the topic of friendship, and in today's episode, we ask the question as to whether Men and Women can be "friends." Disclaimer: This is not Providence Church's official stance, and the conclusions drawn by Ravyn, Nate, and Grace might be subject to change as well. This is a conversation to get our minds thinking about how we define "friend" and how we steward friendships with the opposite sex. Listen to minutes 18–25 to hear where they potentially landed on an answer.The rough definition of biblical friendship that we landed on in a past episode: Another level of doing life together. It is the definition of fellowship of believers (breaking bread, gathering, offering wisdom), but added shared experiences, life together, and developed trust.To learn more about our church family, visit providenceomaha.orgTo submit a topic idea, email us at formation@providenceomaha.org

One of our members asked us to chat about the topic of friendship, which isn't spoken about very often in the Bible. Join us as we try to discern and unpack a biblical definition of friendship.Rough Definition of Biblical Friendship we landed on in the episode (min 22:44): Another level of doing life together. It is the definition of fellowship of believers (breaking bread, gathering, offering wisdom), but added shared experiences, life together, and developed trust.Resources mentioned:The Porch "Show Me Your Friends and I'll Show You Your Future" sermon.Proverbs 13:20—"He who walks with the wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." Proverbs 18:34—A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.Proverbs 19:4—Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.Proverbs 27:6—Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.Proverbs 27:9–10–Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel. Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.1 Corinthians 15:33–In his letters to the Corinthians Paul teaches, "Bad company corrupts good character."

We wrap up the last study from 2 Timothy today. This letter has helped us to understand many things about the church. Especially the importance of maintaining sound doctrine. But Paul puts a bit of a personal touch on the end of his letter, as he calls Timothy to visit him and recounts friends and coworkers in the Gospel that he has encountered along the way.

Our special guest TJ Freeman continues in our series through Colossians discussing the beauty of friendship especially in bad times. Colossians 4:7-18

God designed us to experience deep relationships with people. Biblical friendships not only help us enjoy this life and have a good time but actually drives us closer to Jesus. Open a Bible to 1 Samuel 18 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

We have easier access to people than ever before, yet we are more isolated in so many ways. The book of Proverbs has a lot to say about the need for friendship and community – not a generic kind of friendship, but biblical, life-giving friendship. We need to be around people with whom we can be truly vulnerable and receive encouragement and correction. A friend isn't just someone who doesn't leave, but someone who moves towards you in all seasons.

Pastor Tucker explains why developing friendship with God and others is one of the keys to a blessed life.

Whether in formal biblical counseling or informal ministry to one another, believers are called not only to offer instruction to each other, but to be involved in each other's lives. Kim and Shelbi are joined in this episode by Dale Johnson, executive director of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, to talk about the importance of friendship in the church. Women's Hope is produced by The Master's University, a Christian liberal arts institution in Santa Clarita, California, led by Chancellor John MacArthur and President Abner Chou.

Our friendships with one another will only have a solid foundation and be able to flourish if they are built on the solid rock of Christ.
