Friendship Redefined: How to Walk with People Who Keep You Near Jesus

What makes a friendship last for eternity, not just a lifetime?
In this week’s message, Pastor Rodney unpacks the power of Legacy Friendships—relationships that do more than share memories; they shape our walk with Jesus. Drawing from John 15:12–17, we discover that true friends aren’t just good company—they’re God’s chosen tools for discipleship, accountability, and spiritual growth.

Pastor Rodney shares his own story of a lunchbox mix-up that led to a lifelong friendship and uses it to challenge us:

Are the people closest to you helping you become more like Christ?

Are your friendships built on convenience, or are they rooted in purpose and the pursuit of Jesus?

What kind of spiritual trail will your relationships leave behind?

From iron-sharpens-iron accountability to bearing fruit that lasts, this sermon will inspire you to seek—and become—the kind of friend who walks in truth, speaks life, and points others toward Christ. Whether you’re a student, a young couple, a parent, or a senior, God can use your friendships to leave a legacy that echoes into eternity.

📖 Main Scripture: John 15:12–17
🎯 Key Theme: Friendship is not just for fun—it’s for formation.
💡 Takeaway: Walk with people who keep you near Jesus. Become the kind of friend who helps others do the same.
