FRIENDS | The One With No More Fake Friends | Week 2

What does real friendship actually look like in a social-media generation?In Week 2 of our Friends series, we talk about the difference between fake friends and real friends, and why so many friendships today feel temporary, shallow, or transactional.We unpack the idea of contract friendships: relationships based on benefits, convenience, or proximity, and contrast them with covenant friendships, the kind of relationships God models throughout Scripture. Friendships that don’t disappear when things get hard. Friends who confront in love. Friends who walk with purpose, not just proximity.Using biblical examples like David and Jonathan, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this message challenges us to rethink how we choose our closest friends, and how we show up as one.If you’ve ever been burned by fake friends, avoided hard conversations, or wondered why some friendships never go deeper, this message is for you.Because friendship isn’t a subscription… it’s a covenant.
