*SCRIPTURE READING: John 15:14-17 NLT
14 You are my friends if you do what I command.15 I no longer call you
slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my
friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. 16 You
didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce
lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for,
using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
