Jesus as Friend

Pastor Tim Beal · Feb 25, 2018

Using the story of Nathan confronting David in 2 Samuel 11–12, Pastor Tim Beale argues that genuine friendship requires the courage to speak truth into a friend's life — but to do so with humility, a desire for their growth, and a goal of pointing them toward God rather than winning an argument. The same qualities that define a great friend — loyalty, selflessness, and grace-filled honesty — are perfectly embodied in Jesus, the friend who sticks closer than a brother and gave His life to buy our freedom.
