Proverbs 18:24 says, “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

It was “Invite A Friend” last Sunday and the below was passed out to the congregation… Christ is the true example of a friend, He never fails, He always listens and He is *always* there. I pray that we all can follow His example.
