Significant relationships with fellow Christians can have an enormous impact on our lives. Think of the friends who lowered their friend the paralytic through the roof of the home Jesus was in, knowing Jesus could heal him; or the great insight Jethro gave his son-in-law Moses as he tried to serve as judge and leader to the Israelites as they wandered in the desert. Pastor Chris takes a "time out" from the sermon series in 1 Timothy to talk about the importance of significant friendships as the fall Growth Group quarter kicks off. He discusses how our spiritual growth and health is often a reflection of those relationships.

Chris Brown serves as one of our senior pastor at North Coast Church and oversees both Student Ministries and the Edge video venue. Chris loves bringing the Bible to life with his gifts as a communicator and storyteller, but most evident in his teaching is his passion for sharing a real and authentic love affair with Jesus.
