So Now We Are Friends?

from Second on the Mount · host Second Presbyterian Church

John 15:12-17 Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Confirmation Sunday, January 11, 2026. "What can be shocking today is when realize that Jesus wants us to be his friend. The kind of friend who speaks for him, acts on his behalf, and bears his love into the world even when it is uncomfortable, inconvenient, or risky. It means going to the places he went, welcoming the people he welcomed. It means not embarrassing his reputation by speaking and acting in selfish, cruel, unkind, or prejudicial ways and then pretending that this is what Jesus would do. "I want you to think about that, because Jesus is asking you to be his friend." Read the manuscripts of our latest sermons at: https://www.spres.org/worship/sermons/
