Jesus is… Week 4: Jesus is Better Than a Best Friend

We are starting a brand new series called “Jesus is…” where we will be asking the question “Who is Jesus?” We believe that is the most important question you can ask and the answer to that question will impact your life the most.

What are some characteristics you think of a friend? How do you know if someone is a good friend or if you are a good friend? In the final part of our series “Jesus Is…” we will look at how Jesus is better than a best friend and how we can follow Jesus’ lead in being a better friend to others.
