HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS
Healthy friendships
FEED THE NEED to be LOVED AND ACCEPTED.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
HOW DO THEY WORK

1. PARTNERSHIP

TREKKERS KEY VERSE (WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU
Colossians 3:2
Set your mind on things above,
not on earthly things.
How does it work with friendship?
John 15:13
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Earthly way to look at friends
(Examples from life)
Earthly way to look for friends
– What can they do for me?
– Who will make me popular?
– Who has the nicest things toys bikes, house ect…
Heavenly way to look at friends
(Examples from life)
Looking at friends from a heavenly view not earthy view
– Who makes me laugh?
– What can I do for them?
– Who do I have things in common with?
– Who will help me grow stronger?
– Who will always lift me up
and never bring me down?
