Icebreaker: What saying from your parents sticks in your head?  When you do you remember first hearing it and how can you apply it to your life?

1.  Read Prov. 17:17  Tell us about a friend who has really stuck with you.

2.  Read Prov. 18:24  Have you ever had an unreliable friend? How did you learn they were unreliable?

3.  Read Prov. 27:9  Tell us about some advice that you got from a friend that really helped you? Why were you willing to trust their advice?

4.  Read Prov. 27:5-6  Tell us about a time when your friend faithfully wounded you with the “last 10%”. How did their hard words of confrontation help you?

5.  How can we pray for you this week?
