Observation & Discussion (30 Minutes)
Genesis 2:18 – The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.”
1.. Why did God say this? Why is having friends in your life important to God and to you?
Types of friends: stick around, speak up, celebrate, collaborate & confidant.
2. With these examples in mind, what type of friends do you have in your life?
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 –Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Hebrews 10:24-25 – And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
3. How has God used other people in your life to spur you on and encourage you (be specific)?
4. What are some things that make it difficult for you to develop and keep good friendships? (Some examples could be it is hard for you to reach out, take a risk, not sure what to do first or find it difficult to make the time.)
5. Friendship takes work, what are some ways you can implement these values in your life (Values of meeting together and encouraging others)?
