Gauntlet 2024 | Session 3

Girls Night - Meredith “You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:14 ESV “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 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. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:9-11 (ESV) God is the friend who wants to love us more than He wants to use us. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” John 15:9 ESV God is the friend who restricts us in order to protect us. “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.” John 15:10 ESV God’s friendship brings us REAL and LASTING joy. “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:11 (ESV) You can live your whole life “saved”, and miss the friendship of God. In Jesus, we see God as the friend who would do anything for us, even give up His own life. Boys Night - Lee Friendship with god is everything It costs what it costs. John 15:1-17 ESV Friendship with god is everything It costs what it costs.
