Guys, I don't know what you all think, but I just don't think he's working out.

No, not a fan.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

We're gonna have to infringe you.

But don't worry, it's not you, it's us.

Thanks, though.

We appreciate your time.

Well, I'm so glad to have all of you with us today at all of our different live church locations across the country.

And those of you in our partnering network churches, we love you guys so much.

I'm also very humbled to have 150,000 of you on the other side of computer screens right now live in coffee shops and in hotel rooms and in your homes at church online.

You are a part of our family and we're very, very thankful to have you with us today for the final week of a four-part message series called Friending.

As we walk into this final message, I just need to tell you that I worked harder on this message than I did on any of the other ones.

And I'm still the least satisfied with the content of this message because there is a tension in the topic that we're going to talk about that we cannot let go away.

I like for things to be clean and neat and black and white and yet in this topic, there is a very real tension that keeps it from being completely clean.

And I just need to tell you that as we go into it because it's an important tension that we cannot ignore as we talk about this subject.

I call this message unfriending because anyone who's on Facebook at some point or another, you might have that friend who is annoying post too much goes on too many rants and eventually you click unfriend.

How many of you have had that person raise your hands? Do not point at them. Just raise your hands up in the air. You just click unfriend.

I think Facebook has so many great values that it adds to our relationships and yet I think unintentionally in many ways it's changing the way we look at the term friend.

For example, you may have 300 Facebook friends but you don't really have 300 close intimate friends in your life.

And just the thought that you can click unfriend and distance yourself from people in some ways it might be unintentionally cheapening what we mean by the term friend.

Rather than saying we're going to unfriend people in our pursuit of pleasing God but I want to do today is talk to you about the times when you may need to redefine a friendship.

In fact, for those of you that are committed followers of Christ, I would say it's imperative at different seasons of your life to redefine certain relationships in order for you to continue on the right path.
