Sermon Illustrations

On my 20th Ministry Anniversary celebration last year, the Praise Team members sang a song to me. The title of the song is called, “That’s What Friends Are For.” Part of the words goes like this:

“Keep smilin’

Keep shinin’

Knowin’ you can always count on me

for sure

that’s what friends are for

In good times

And bad times

I’ll be on your side forever more

That’s what friends are for”

Thank you, Praise Team, for your love for me. This song is true for me. This song is also true for Jesus’ relationship with us. “In good times and bad times I’ll be on your side forever more. That’s what friends are for.” Know that Jesus is your friend.
