New Life Downtown

Friendship builds on commonness, exclusiveness, and multiplied joy and virtue. Yet all three can get distorted and relationships become ugly. The uncomfortable truth is that we do not truly have the friends we wish we could have, and we cannot be the kind of friend we wish we could be. Pastor Glenn Packiam shows how these unfulfilled longings point us to Christ, the true Friend who laid down His life for us even when we treated Him as our enemy. When we recognize Jesus as the source of Joy, the fountain of Divine Love flows through us, transforming our approach to friendship, freeing us to love whole-heartedly and forgive quickly.
