Written by Pastor Kris Wilder Pastor Vradenburgh has frequently said that our Missions Conference is the highlight of Friendship’s church calendar. As a former missionary himself, Pastor has faithfully led Friendship to know the blessing of giving to and praying for “God’s choice servants.” This year’s conference was no exception as several people commented that […]
written by Erica Baldwin “Our Christian life can’t be static,” speaker Beth Lynch advised, encouraging a group of nearly 90 ladies to press on toward their heavenly prize during Friendship Baptist Church’s brunch on February 12. Using Philippians 3:13-14 as her text, Beth said believers should live a life of growth “forgetting what lies behind […]
When the Sadducees sought to put Jesus to the test, they asked Him whose wife a woman would be in heaven if she had been married to multiple men. They asked this because they thought that it logically disproved the resurrection─for they denied the resurrection. Jesus responded to them saying, “Ye do err, not knowing the […]
There are many people who claim to be Bible-believers in our day, but among these there are countless souls who have relied on human reason and have ended up espousing unscriptural errors. We can see a biblical example of this kind of error in Matthew 22:29 where the Sadducees used human reason to deny the […]

No man is an island, and no Christian who willfully neglects corporate prayer can thrive as God intends. God has made the people of His church mutually dependent─and this in such a way that unity among God’s people in corporate prayer opens the door to fresh spiritual blessing. This is God’s intention for His church, and we must unite to pursue it if we are to have spiritual success.
If Jesus is our teacher and example in prayer, certainly there are truths which we can glean by carefully observing His prayers with His disciples. As Pastor Vradenburgh opened up several texts in this light, our eyes were opened to many prayer-enriching truths!
One of the divine titles ascribed to Jesus is “Wonderful.” The Hebrew word translated to wonderful means miraculous. Men speak of many man-made wonders which may inspire some sense of awe, but what are these compared with the wonders of creation? Moreover, what are the wonders of creation compared with the wonders of the Creator!
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14). The name “Immanuel” means “God with us.” It is a divine name which first and foremost signifies the incarnation─ the term describing how God came in the flesh.
written by Pastor Vradenburgh George Frideric Handel’s oratorio – Messiah – is without doubt his “magnum opus”– his greatest work (and he had many). Having suffered a stroke and fighting depression, he gave what he considered his “farewell concert” in April, 1741. Then from the depths of anxiety, he rose to compose this Magnum Opus […]
