     Having a friendship rooted in Christ is so awesome! 

    The dynamic of having Christ first in your life and then allowing him to connect you to fellow believers yields great benefits.  The love that flows from Christ energizes every relationship with a fellow believer.  Caring for the benefit of your friend above and beyond your own circumstances, and desires, brings a joy into every encounter.  This type of loving relationship only produces positive results, because Christ is there.  Encouragement, affirmation and love reinforces how important each of us are to God.  So important in fact,  Jesus gave His life on the cross so that we may live.  The penalty of death is paid and through our faith in Jesus Christ we are saved.

    My Christian friendships are so special.  Together we work toward Christian perfection by supporting, challenging and sharing the love of Christ with one another.  The love that is found in these friendships stretch beyond time and space.   Christ brings unity and love to our relationships in ways that the world will never know...

    ...unless we bring that type of friendship to the world. 

 
     Brothers and Sisters in Christ, let us embrace, enjoy and learn from our friendships because these friendships will be eternal when they are centered on Jesus.

    Blessings and Christ's love to you,

Pastor Jeremy
