Sbc ps amos

"You show me your friends, and I show you your future."

Proverbs 17:17 "a friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity"

Poverty: material, spiritual, relational.

They have nothing, yet I'm jealous of something they have.  They depend in each other, they have community.

Why people have less close friends? Increasing working hours. Technology: people used to hag out outside of their house. But when air conditioning was introduced .. People spend time inside. Smartphone. Create a wall. Explosion of social media.

Does moving forward have to come at expense at losing the past?

We all need a friend whom:
David: Samuel: a friend who makes you better.

"Your problem is that you look at what people look at. But God looks at the heart. "

1 Samuel 16:12 - "this is the one"

Jonathan: A friend whom gives us spiritual strength.
Nathan: A friend whom tells us the truth.
