Healthy, growing friendships move us IN toward each other to motivate us to move UP toward Jesus and OUT toward the lost.

…since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus… — Hebrews 10:19 (NIV)

…let us draw near to God… — vs 22

…let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess… — vs 23

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds… — Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)

Healthy, growing friendships move us IN toward each other to motivate us to move UP toward Jesus…

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” — Luke 5:20 (NIV)

…“I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” — Luke 5:25–26 (NIV)

Healthy, growing friendships move us IN toward each other to motivate us to move UP toward Jesus…

…[his son] was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. — Luke 15:32 (NIV)

…“Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” — Luke 19:9–10 (NIV)

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a retch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…

— Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)

Healthy, growing friendships move us IN toward each other to motivate us to move UP toward Jesus and OUT toward the lost.
