How to 'unfriend' wisely (Brian Paris)

It’s impossible to live the right life when you have the wrong friends. The Bible verse ‘bad company corrupts good character’ isn’t only for kids, it’s for all of us. While Jesus loved everyone unconditionally, he didn’t treat everyone equally. He prioritised his close friends, and he maintained boundaries with other people. How can we follow Jesus example and other wisdom from the Bible in friending and unfriending?
God created us for relationships. The people we choose to surround ourselves with are incredibly important, but in 2024 the social fabric of our church is thinner than ever. Many of us are isolated, lonely and disconnected, but we may not even be aware of how negatively this is affecting us.
In this series we’ll learn about how good friends (and bad friends) can impact our lives, our relationship with God and our future. We want to fight the trend towards loneliness by weaving ourselves together into healthy friendships and communities.
