    Christianity begins and ends with relationship. It’s not so much about finding a true friend as it is being a true friend. Paul gives us clues that will help us become a true friend to those around us.

In chapter 1, we learned about the blessings of being in Christ and how God’s life can be expressed through our lives. In ch. 2, we talked ...read more

These parables were given in response to the Pharisees criticism of His interaction with sinners. ...read more
