Friendship Open: Have you ever been in a situation where your friends wanted you to do something that you knew you should not do? Here is where we will show video clip from movie: “God’s Not Dead”

Closest Friends should have a base in Christ Read: Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (NLT)  How does it feel to be pressured to abandon something important to you?  Why do close relationships and friendships hold so much weight when it comes to advice, counsel an opinion?  Using the agricultural example of two ox working together, what would be some problems with having one weak ox and one strong ox working together? Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? …. 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)

Friendships that aren’t based on Christ could cause us to stumble Ask: Ever heard the phrase: “Feast today for tomorrow we die!” Read: …. Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NLT)  Is this good advice?  How can we avoid yielding to this common advice?

Accountability is the key to both kinds of friendships Ask    

What two kinds of friendship are there? Who are your closest friends? Do they share a similar commitment to Christ? Who do you turn to when you’re struggling in your faith?

Additional discussion questions:    Challenge idea: challenge everybody to change their FB profile picture for 30 days with them holding a sign saying, “God’s Not Dead”.. change is every day or so holding that sign in a different place…. School, work, beach, etc…
