Intentional Friend

Hope Church - Fort Worth, TX

Drawing from his unique background in aerospace and augmented reality technology, Pastor Luke explores what it means to be an intentional friend in today's world. Just as augmented reality technology enhances our view of the physical world, this message reveals how we can enrich our relationships through a spiritual lens.

The sermon unpacks three key elements of intentional friendship: investing in others, offering encouragement, and walking alongside people through life's challenges. Using practical examples and biblical wisdom from Ephesians 5, Pastor Luke illustrates how we can live "acrobatically" – with precision and purpose – in our relationships.

The message presents Jesus as the ultimate model of intentional friendship, demonstrating how divine love can transform our approach to relationships. Whether in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or recreational spaces, we're challenged to move beyond passive connections to active, purposeful friendships. This teaching provides practical steps for becoming the kind of friend who makes a lasting impact in others' lives.
