Title: Making Friends
Author: Craig Smith
Text: Proverbs 12:26, Ecclesiastes 4:7-12
I wanna talk to you today about the role of friendship in living a life that you love and I actually, the reason I'm distracted and I real, I don't have the right microphone pack right now. I usually change it between the 8:00 AM service nine 15. I don't have it because during the 8:00 AM service, I thought I lost a really good friend and it messed me up.
Turns out I didn't, turns out it was just, it was a communication error, but there, there was a moment I was trying to preach and I was actually thinking about this person who is a really dear friend of mine.

Okay. In fact, if you wanna open your Bible, turn with me to, to Genesis chapter one. Genesis chapter one, where God creates everything. And it's interesting having created the heavens and the earth and then everything in creation, having made it all, God looks at it. This is verse 31. Genesis 31 said, God saw all that he had made and it was, and say it with me, church.
It was what? It was very good. And just so you know, the Hebrew word for good, the Hebrew word is tove. Tove doesn't just mean unbroken. It doesn't just mean, righteous or morally perfect. It means pleasant, it means desirable. It. God looked at the world that he made and it was good in every sense of that word.
And so the reality is that ...
