The Friend Of God

In this message, Pastor Mark Bullen discusses the biblical concept of becoming a friend of God.He begins with the account in 2 Samuel 21, where Abishai protects aging King David from a Philistine giant, and connects it to Onesiphorus, who searched for and refreshed the imprisoned Apostle Paul. These examples illustrate attentive friendship that recognizes need and responds with action.The central point of the message focuses on Abraham, described in Scripture as “the friend of God” for believing God, obeying His commands, and seeking the heavenly city instead of earthly comforts. God blessed Abraham and his descendants as a result and was not ashamed to be called their God.Brother Mark explains that God values those who pay attention to Him, align with His ways, and walk in faith and obedience in a time when many overlook the Creator.
