last Saturday’s sermon

Aaron preached about true friends last Saturday. for those of you that couldnt make it for teenz last Saturday can read about the sermon here. it is just the main points.

Three stages of choosing Friends.
1. Based on where we live (our location)
2. Based on what we like (personality traits&hobby)
3. Based on what you believe

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
- we're easily influence by friends.
- friends are also will determine what we want.
- will shed by friends.
- influence the friends,influence by friends.
- ask JESUS,who is my neighbour(friends)??
LOVE YOU FRIENDS AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.

rethink about your friends. Chose friends like Samaritans =]
Be true friends to another.

Three type of friendships ( Luke 10:25-37 )
1.Priest - if i help you, i'll be affected. therefore i better not to help you.
2.Levites - come over and take a look. better not to help you and just pretend to be your friend.
3.Samaritans - A friend who will commit to you!
