One of the great joys of our lives is the grace gift of making new friends in Christ.
Over the past couple of months Carol and I have been getting to know Rob & Kerry Burkey and their 8 year old daughter Faith.
Rob has joined our team as the new Worship Pastor of North Way and brings an enormous amount of talent, experience and passion to his position. But more than that, he’s becoming a great friend and brother in Jesus Christ that I believe will shape our relationship and our church for many years to come.
Friends are people that you find yourself feeling comfortable with and, most of all, accepted by regardless of the conditions. Rob & Kerry are those kind of people and I trust that you’ll engage them in the coming weeks and months knowing that it will take them quite a while to really be able to settle in having moved all the way across the country to be here.
By the same token, there may be someone in your neighborhood or in the office or classroom next to you that really needs a friend and that just may be what God’s calling you to do.
Remember that Jesus put friendship in a whole new category when He claimed in John 15 that He know calls us His “friends”.
Blessings!
Dr. Jay
