The Importance of Friendships Made in Christ
Introduction
Good morning, My name is Will Moss and I’m a senior and the Student Body President at Evergreen High School, and next fall I will be attending Colorado State University and studying business.
Early Life
Birth and Family
Now, I am so blessed to be a part of the Moss family; well taken care of and well loved by my parents Scott and Beverly. Thank you mom and dad for always being there and supporting my dreams and raising me in such a wonderful community such as Evergreen.
Friends
Growing up here has afforded me some truly great friendships, friends that I know I will keep for the rest of my life. These are friends that I have had since Kindergarten and my early years in school and have thrived through high school and will no doubt continue throughout the rest of my academic career and into the foreseeable future. Not only did we grow up at school, but here at Rockland together in the faith.

Framily
Because of this, these people became more than just my friends, but more like my second family. People with whom I felt at home with, could be myself around, and help me with whatever I needed.
San Diego
Move
In 5th grade, however, my dad had a job opportunity open up for him in San Diego, not a horrible place to have to move, but a place in which I would not be surrounded by all of my friends with whom I had built these special relationships.
Friends
However, as nervous and sad as I was, it did not take long to make new friends, and a few of these friends turned into more of the kind of friends that felt more like family, and who I still keep in touch with to this day. I still remember the youth group we would go to, in which the leader would say a prayer before everyone would head out into the surf together. But of course I still missed my Evergreen friends, and when made a surprise visit it made me reminded me just

    Matthew 5:27-32 is part of the Sermon on the Mount discourse, which is one of the five discourses of the Gospel of Matthew (5-7, 10, 13, 18, and 23-25). This passage locates relatively earlier in the Sermon. Professor Dallas Willard (1998), in his book The Divine Conspiracy, claims that “The later parts of the Discourse presuppose the earlier parts and simply cannot be understood unless their dependence upon the earlier parts is clearly seen” (p. 138). If the sequential order in the discourse is important, then the earlier parts are more foundational than the later parts. That is the first reason I chose to memorize this passage rather than other passages of the Sermon on the Mount discourse. The second reason I choose this passage because…

    My father worked in the United States Marine core during my adolescent years, and because of it we were constantly moving around. I believe it made me more of an adaptable person, however once I met whom I considered my best friend moving around was not so fun anymore. I’ve always been more of a quiet person so meeting friends was not easy for me, and the few I had were as close to me as family. Moving to Philadelphia from Virginia was very traumatic for me at that age. My parents told me that I would have many meaningful people come in and out of my life as time went on, but at the time I figured I would never find another friend like the one I had. After months of being in a very depressive state I became very close friends with our neighbor’s daughter whom is still one of my closest…

    The Sermon in the Mount delivered by Jesus defines the important values of Religion. As the founder of Christian religion, Jesus, in his sermon, presented the evidences of ethics behavior of Christians, which are forgiveness, humility, Justice, love and perseverance. Agreeing to Jesus’ sermon, forgiveness must characterize Christians. In fact, Christian must forgive at the level of accepting a recidivist behavior. According to Jesus “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”. In addition humility is a requirement of Christians. Christians prove their humility by asking forgiveness even if they did not offense someone. As Jesus declared, if “your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front…

    Without Christ, there can be no Christian discipleship. Christ is the teacher, friend, leader, guide, savior and Son of God who is the central part of Christian discipleship. 1 John 5:20 says, “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” To be a disciple of Christ, one must acknowledge Jesus as the central part of discipleship.…

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    There is absolutely nothing better than spending a week on vacation with your friends. Last summer, I went to the Free Lutheran Youth (FLY) convention. FLY is a large get-together where Lutheran teenagers from around the country meet and worship. Abby Ator, Lance Bengochea, Sierra Machart, Mariah Machart, Emma Pederson, Bryan Pederson and I go to Bethel Lutheran Church; we decided to fundraise and attend the FLY convention. This year was the first time I have participated; the experience literally changed my outlook on life.

    Over the years that I’ve been at Burdick, I’ve gained many great friends, but I also lost a few. Only a few selective of them, I tell my secrets to. For example, Kaiden, Coreena, Dakota, Elysium, Joelle, Jose, and Isaiah. They’re the greatest friends anyone could ask for and have. They’re loyal, truthful, understanding, funny, witty, sarcastic, and just plain awesome. I have them to thank for making ordinary moments, extraordinary. They’re always there when I want to hang out or vent out my feelings. They put in that extra effort to understand me for who I am, not caring the slightest bit about my flaws and imperfections. And if I ever need to shed some tears, I know that at least one of them will be there to comfort me. There are times where…

    When I think about my childhood years, I my first friends come to my mind, those who were the first people besides my family I got to know, who become my friends and grew up with me.

Their existence has always been taken for granted, and they haven’t been given the importance or attention that they deserve…
