Recently, our church enjoyed a day with Jeff Diedrich. Jeff is a pastor in Pennsylvania. One of his main ministry responsibilities for his church is discipleship coordination and over-sight. It was a great day of being challenged and reminded about God’s task for us, making disciples. As a theme for our “Grow Day,” this was […]
Some of the most misunderstood and misapplied verses in the Bible are Jesus’ words to His disciples recorded in John 16:7-11. This passage contains an amazing promise about the future ministry of the Holy Spirit upon unbelievers (the “world”). These words must be understood in light of what Jesus had just said in 14:17. “Even […]
I love Google Maps. You simply take your phone, type in where you want to go, and the app guides you step by step in how to get there! The only requirement for it to work…is that you must know where you are going. At Friendship Baptist Church over the last year, we have prayerfully […]
The FBC Ladies Regional Cookie Exchange is coming up, but some are still wondering, “What is a Cookie Exchange?” If you search the internet, you will find many variations for cookie exchange parties.

What if someone told you that in evaluating your life, the missing ingredient was love? Would that be tough to hear? Would it be tough to admit? Would it be tough to wrestle with? Well, the words of Scripture, in this case, would offer you little comfort, as a succinct paraphrase of I Corinthians 13:1-3 […]
Something happens when men study God’s Word together! That was the thought that gripped my heart when I saw more than 50 men gather at Friendship last Monday night. They were present for an informational meeting about the first-ever weeknight men’s Bible study in our church. We know that there is power in united prayer. […]
More than 50 years ago, five men, their wives and young families put their faith to the test when they felt led by God to begin a new church in North Raleigh. With the blessing from their pastor and home church in Rolesville, these believers began their search for a new pastor and a building […]
For this year’s retreat day, Friendship ladies ordered lunch, grabbed their Bibles, and headed for a barn venue in Willow Spring. Sharon Battig, creator of the “Simply Blessed” Bible study method, had traveled from Ohio to explain its development and to walk us through the process, using the first two verses of Philippians 1.
