How to friend! | Daniel Nüesch | ICF Zurich

2025/06/01 | Daniel Nüesch

In this sermon Daniel Nüesch urges you to relearn the art of friendship: community combats the epidemic of loneliness and is part of how God made us (Genesis; 2 Corinthians 5:18). Main idea: healthy friendships sharpen your character and physical wellbeing, because you weren’t meant to live isolated.

Practical takeaway: choose friends wisely (Prov. 27:17), invest time intentionally (schedule, small groups), practice honesty and vulnerability (James 5:16), show compassion (Romans 15:7), and resist selfishness (Phil. 2:3). Friendship grows when you prioritize presence, protect confidences, and celebrate others.

Gentle call to reflection/action: pick one person this week to invest in — call, invite, or pray for them — and remember the first friend who steadies you is Jesus, whose friendship equips you to love others.
