TOPIC – Friend Or Foe? (Open Heaven for Teens, 25 October 2026)

MEMORISE: Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. – Proverbs 27:17

BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 15:33

33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

MESSAGE

Friendships play a huge role in shaping our lives as humans, but not all friendships are beneficial. I mingled with boys with wild lifestyles in my youth, and this cost me a lot until Jesus saved me. Good friends can inspire growth and positivity in you, while bad ones can corrupt you morally. Ask yourself if your friends have led you closer to God or drawn you away from Him.

Ungodly friendships are often fueled by those who appear to be friends but are actually foes. They encourage manipulation or gossip and try to draw a person away from godly values. Beloved, you need to be alert and watch out for red flags when choosing friends. For instance, you have no business being friends with someone who is disrespectful to elders and teachers, gossips at all times, or gets punished constantly for wrongdoings. Watch out for calm, studious, respectful, and Christ-like people to befriend. Anyone who is not godly cannot be your friend; be wise in choosing your friends.

Quiz: Evil………… corrupts good manner.

ACTION POINT:
Examine your friends today; are they true friends or foes?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Luke 5:17-39 Joshua 19-20

HYMN 55: Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose

1 Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!”

2 Principalities And Powers,
Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.”

3 Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.”

4 Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!”

5 Hear, Above AlI, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.”

6 Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
