Friendship is the Crown

Servants or Friends? What is God looking for, servants or friends? The answer may surprise you. In a world where occupational success forms the basis of our identity, God seeks something more valuable. Throughout the Bible, men and women found themselves on a journey to know God personally. They faced critical moments which ultimately brought them closer to God. As a result, they shifted from religious duty to fervent desire. Author Steve Harrison focuses on the critical points of this journey of friendship. He draws from over fi fty years of ministry to share personal lessons learned as well as valuable biblical insights. You will gain a deeper understanding of the cost of friendship along with the power of proximity. You will be challenged to seek Christ's trust and know the foundation of God's Kingdom. There is a fellowship of Christ's followers who have found the treasure buried in the fi eld and the pearl of great price. They have discovered a love and support that does not wane because of a friendship that does not end. You, Lord, were my friend, and you made me strong as a mighty mountain. (Psalm 30:7 CEV)
