Presence
Do you remember the song “ I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends”? Well, do you get help from your friemds? It’s so important for us to help each other out in the faith community. We are aren’t supposed to walk through this life alone. Jesus talks about it in John 15:9-17. We are commanded to love one another as Christ has loved us. Join us on Sunday as we discuss; getting the help we need from others, the importance of being part of the church in action, and being present to help our friends.
John 15:9-17
New Revised Standard Version
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants[a] any longer, because the servant[b] does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17 I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
