What does it mean to be a real friend of God? In this sermon, Pastor John Hester explores John 15:12-17 and reveals the truth many believers miss: genuine friendship with Christ requires genuine obedience.
Most of us want God's presence, His answers to our prayers, and a sense of belonging. But too many of us aren't willing to surrender complete control. We want the benefits of God's friendship without the commitment. But real friendship with God means His Word matters. It means we take His commands seriously. His expectations become our own.
If you're struggling with obedience, wrestling with what it means to truly follow Christ, or wondering if your friendship with God is real, this message is for you.
