Be a Blessing, Building Friendship

May 18, 2025    Pastor Mark Reynolds

Do you want deeper, more meaningful friendships? What if the key isn’t about finding the right people—but being the right kind of friend?


In this powerful message, Pastor Mark explores God's original call to Abraham in Genesis 12:2–3: “I will bless you… and you will be a blessing.” From the very beginning, God’s plan has been to use ordinary people to share extraordinary love—and the best friendships are built by those who live to bless others.


🎯 Big Idea: If you want good friends, be a good friend—and live a life that blesses others.


Using the practical and memorable B.L.E.S.S. framework, this sermon walks through five daily practices that can transform your relationships:


Begin with Prayer

Listen with Compassion

Eat Together

Serve in Love

Share Your Story


Whether you’re looking to strengthen a friendship, reconnect with a loved one, or be a more faithful witness to Christ’s love, this message will give you tools to live intentionally and build deeper connections.
