Proverbs | True Friends | Finding the Ones Who Stick Closer Than a Brother

August 10, 2025

We were made for friendship — real friendship. Not just followers, likes, or casual acquaintances, but relationships where we are truly known, loved, and challenged to grow.
In this week’s message from our Proverbs series, Family Minister Matthew Hanks walks us through biblical wisdom for finding and keeping true friends. From the epidemic of loneliness in our culture to God’s design for friendship, we’ll see:

👉🏼 The difference between friends to avoid and friends to pursue
👉🏼 How our friendships shape our direction and character
👉🏼 Why friendship with God is the foundation for all other relationships
👉🏼 Three marks of a true friend: forgives, loves, and grows

Discover how to deepen your friendships and become the kind of friend who sticks closer than a brother.
