What does it mean to be a true friend in a Jesus-centered community? In this message, Pastor Jon Dupin unpacks the biblical foundation of loving correction—a key characteristic of authentic friendship.
Too often, we believe myths about relationships in the church:
❌ Following Jesus automatically makes us great at friendships.
❌ We will naturally get along with other believers.
❌ Love for one another is instant and effortless.
But the New Testament tells a different story. True friendship isn’t about flattery or appeasement—it’s about mutual affection and correction, sharpening one another toward spiritual maturity (Proverbs 27:17, Ephesians 4:15).
Through Galatians 6, we learn how to:
✅ Restore others with gentleness when they stumble.
✅ Carry one another’s burdens while taking personal responsibility.
✅ Love in a way that transforms judgment into compassion and action.
Are you ready to build deeper, Christ-centered relationships? Watch now and take a step toward living out the “one another” commands of Scripture.
