What is Common with All of Us?
• We are all fallen…– Proverbs 22:24-25– “Make no friendship with a man given to
anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. ”
What is the Point of Friendship?
• Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron.”– You care
• Proverbs 17:9-10• “Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he
who repeats a matter separates close friends. A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool. ”
• Proverbs 27:14• “Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,
rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.”
What is the Point of Friendship?
• Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron.”– Deep does not mean many
• Proverbs 18:24
• “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. ”
Reasons to Stay Together?
• Good over the Bad– Money
• Proverbs 19:4, 6
– Just a joke• Proverbs 26:18-19
• “Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"”
Reasons to Stay Together?
• Good over the Bad– Honesty
• Proverbs 27:6
• “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. ”
• Proverbs 27:9
• “Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.”
• Proverbs 28:23
The Horizontal vs. The Vertical?
• Friendships reflect your Relationship to God– We were not meant to be isolated creatures
• Genesis 2:18
– Your pride that pushes people away, makes God distant as well
• Psalm 59:11-13
The Horizontal vs. The Vertical?
– Your pride that pushes people away, makes God distant as well
• Psalm 59:11-13• “Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them
totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield!
• For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride.
• For the cursing and lies that they utter, consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth.”
