intro: #anchored in love.. #anchored in FRIENDSHIP

WE NEED FRIENDS / FRIENDSHIPS

Faith and ‘In the know’ #FirstFriend = JESUS John 15:13-15 (HCSB) No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what I command you….

intro: Fulfilled friend – Biblical expectations

“Don’t expect from people what you can only receive from God and likewise do not expect from God what He intended to provide to you through people..” “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future” Be that friend

2. The Father Heart

of God:

JESUS John 14:9 (HCSB) Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

3. God Knows:

Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. 1 John 3:20 ..in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Omniscience is defined as “the state of having total knowledge, the quality of knowing everything.”

Isaiah 46:9–10 (ESV) …for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

4. God knows YOU:

Psalm 139:4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all. Matthew 10:30 "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered..”

1. He knows you when you don’t look the part: The world saw Saul, God saw Paul The armies of God saw little shepherd boy, God knew a giant slayer He was known as Simon yet Jesus said from now on you will be Peter Testimony 2. When you don’t feel the part:

Psalm 139:1–3 (ESV) O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

What is He saying to you?

5. God Knows the

Situation:

Everywhere in the Word and all of Jesus’ ministry…

Testimonies

6. God Knows the

Future:

Psalm 16:5 LORD, You are my portion and my cup of blessing; You hold my future. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I will praise the LORD who counsels me— even at night my conscience instructs me. 8 I keep the LORD in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Testimony

Turn to the One who knows: Luke 12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom”. Kingdom – His will, His wisdom, His heart Romans 14:17 (NKJV) ..for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
