Friendship with God Chapter 2-3 "Friendship with the Three in One, A Loving Father" Webster 3/9/2025 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

Many followers of Jesus have a difficult time knowing what to share with someone who is far from God, or even how to share it. Listen/watch this message and catch the vision for sharing the Good News. Luke 7:34; John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

Friendship with God Intro/Chapter 1 "Saved for Communion" Bobby James March 2, 2025 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

The season of Lent is a time of preparation, of deepening our relationship with the Divine and preparing to receive a miracle! Rather than focusing on sacrificing something you enjoy (giving up something for Lent), I recommend doing MORE of what you truly yearn for…something that will give you more love, peace, and connection. That's why I am recommending my book, Meditation is Friendship with God! This book will teach you the nuts and bolts of meditation, but it will also take you beyond meditation techniques, to developing an intimate relationship with the Divine. In this episode, I take you through a mini quiz to help you determine whether your current concept of God works for you, and if not, how to create one that does!  If you would like to purchase this book, click here for the Show Notes   PS- if you want to go even deeper in meditation,  you can still join the new training – Meditate Like Mother Mary Key Learnings: If you were raised with a concept of God that made you feel anxious, afraid, judged or anything negative, know that you can change that right now. Nothing negative is of God, that is the ego projecting itself onto the Divine. If you had a challenging relationship with your parents, it might be difficult to relate to God as Divine Mother or Father. But most of us have had a friend, or can at least imagine a friend, who cares for us and treats us as equals. Meditation is a relationship. It is a process of creating more and more intimacy with your own Self. As we learn to deeply relax, we become aware of the Divine Presence that is always present. We learn to become God's friend. “We are most genuinely ourselves when we are expansive. Why? Because that is when we are most like God.” To purchase Meditation is Friendship with God, click here To register for Meditate Like Mother Mary, click here To join the Magnify Your Miracles membership, click here  If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

In the beginning, humans were in friendship with God and in harmony with creation. The Catechism unfolds this harmony and introduces us to the “original justice” that our first parents lost in sin. Fr. Mike reminds us that, although our original callings to leisure, love, and labor have been twisted by sin, they are renewed in Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 374-384. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

God is our friend, but are we really His? What makes a true friendship? Are you showing God that you are His friend in the same way He is showing you that He is yours?

Week 1 of our Prayer Series.

Jesus did not come only to rescue you from your sins by dying on the cross and rising from the dead – but He came to identify with you and help you daily, as a friend – and He has unlimited resources.

In this sermon, join Ps Bruce as he teaches on how we can grow in our friendship with the Lord and how that can translate into friendship with others.God's desire for a relationship with us is not based on obligation, religious duty, or transactional exchanges. Instead, He has always pursued us with a consistent, unwavering desire for true friendship. Throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Malachi, through the stories of the patriarchs, judges, kings, and disciples, we see God persistently providing ways to engage with His people. He continually leans in, drawing near to us, inviting us into deeper communion with Him.John 15:15 reminds us of this invitation:"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."In Revelation 3:20, Jesus extends a personal invitation:"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."Even with this invitation, the choice remains ours. Will we accept His outstretched hand? More importantly, which is harder: saying yes to this friendship or truly walking in it?As Christians, followers of Christ who have accepted His invitation, we can sometimes drift into a pattern of transactional prayer. Life gets busy, and our prayers may sound like: Lord, help me today. Heal this person. Protect my kids. While these are valid petitions, they only scratch the surface of what true friendship with Christ entails.1 Thessalonians 5:17 instructs us to:"Pray without ceasing."This doesn't mean simply repeating requests endlessly, it means engaging in an ongoing, dynamic conversation with God. Prayer includes:- Praising Him- Petitioning Him like Jacob- Confessing our darkest thoughts- Offering thanksgiving- Asking: God, what do You want to say to me today? What do You need me to do? Where are You leading me?- Giving Him space to respond.Psalm 46:10 encourages us:"Be still, and know that I am God."1 Kings 19:11 illustrates how God speaks:"The Lord said, 'Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.'"A key barrier to deeper friendship with God is trust.We struggle with trust in our relationship with God too. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."Even when we desire to trust, doubts creep in: What if God doesn't come through this time?Yet, Psalm 9:10 reassures us:"Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You."Trust grows in any relationship through vulnerability that is reciprocated and protected. Just as marriage thrives when trust is built, so does our relationship with God.Jesus demonstrated the ultimate act of friendship: John 15:13:"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."The disciples were meant to see the cross and think: I understand now. He took my place under God's wrath because He views me as His treasured friend.Friendship with Christ is a gift beyond comprehension. There is no greater compass for life than walking in friendship with Jesus.

It's Children Sunday! Sister Chimamanda ministers on the topic "Friendship with God" Listen and be Blessed in Jesus name.

John 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

God wants us to know Him not just as a Father but also as a Friend. Stay tuned as we explore the depth of God's friendship with us.

Do you long to feel closer to God? Are you searching for a faith that's more than just going through the motions? Let's be honest: we often feel distant from God. We spend a lot more time looking like we're faithful than living out a life-giving relationship. Our souls ache from the lack of intimacy. Something is missing. We know life isn't supposed to be this way. What we really want is to know God and be known. We yearn for an honest, ongoing connection with God as a real person. In today's episode and through her book Befriending God, Tanya Godsey invites us to move beyond religious performance and into authentic relational intimacy through: Biblical character studies illuminating how we can encounter God in the struggles, questions, and complexities of our lives; Vulnerable, powerful examples of God's relational transformation in the context of a marginalized community; Practical guidance for setting aside faulty cultural norms that keep us from friendship with God. If you crave a genuine connection with God that transcends religious to-dos and cultural currents, tune in to experience transformation and renewal in your spiritual journey. Discover the joy of knowing God intimately in every season, heartache, and ordinary moment.   Connect with Tanya: https://www.tanyagodsey.com   Read the Show Notes: https://rachaelkadams.com/writing/  Support the Show: https://rachaelkadams.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

83// Growing Our Friendship With God: Mark 3:13-18 In this conversation, Rachael discusses the 12 disciples and their relationship with Jesus. She explains that Jesus called these men to be his closest followers and trained them to preach, teach, and minister to people. The disciples witnessed Jesus' miracles and learned from him firsthand. Rachael emphasizes that we can know Jesus as well as his disciples did by following him, praying, and studying his word. She also encourages listeners to help others learn about Jesus and be confident in their friendship with God. Do you have a question for Rachael?
