Relationships that Heal; Philippians 2:19-30

The Beatles told us they get by with a little help from their friends. A generation earlier, Cole Porter told us friendship is just the perfect blendship. Then my generation came along, and we were stuck with Michael W. Smith telling us friends are friends forever, which we sang at every campfire on the last day of church camp. The song lasted longer than most of those friendships (or it felt like it did anyway). Whatever your "friendship anthem" is, you know the importance of those relationships you hold most dear. In Philippians 2:19-30, Paul pauses from his teaching and encouragement to tell the Philippians about a couple of his friends. He details what they mean to him personally and how he couldn't get by without a little help from them. In this message, we will hear about Paul's friends, and we will see our friendships reflected in his words.
