Yesterday our theme in the “Love Stories” series at our church was friendship. We focused on the three best friends Jesus had – and it wasn’t Peter, James, and John. It was that amazing family from Bethany – Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Each had a wonderful friendship with Jesus, and each expressed it in his/her own way. Lazarus was a friend who hangs. Martha was a friend who serves. Mary was a friend who understands. What to hear the whole thing? Click here, then on the “listen” button next to “Friends: A Refuge for the Soul”. (Thanks to Shanda Hasse of White Sparrow Design for the beautiful design here. It’s actually a postcard, and if you’d like some, contact me at andy@lifevesting.com for information.)
We also put a new spin on an old, warmly familiar song that you don’t usually hear in church. But the message is strong, and this video is a reminder that whether our friends are faithful or failures, we have an unfailing Friend, who sticks closer than a brother.
