Brandon Edwards | Worship & Creative Arts Pastor\n\u201cAs the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father\u2019s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master\u2019s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit\u2014fruit that will last\u2014and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.\u201d John 15:9-16 (NIV)\n\u201cI am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.\u201d John 17:13-19 (NIV)\n\u201cThe Lord had said to Abram, \u2018Go from your country, your people and your father\u2019s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing, I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.\u2019 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.\u201d Genesis 12:1-4 (NIV)\nReflection Questions:1) Friends on mission can start with friendship or start with mission.
