Deeper Than You Think | Pastor Paul Miller | HopeX Church

What You’ll Learn This week’s message, “Deeper Than You Think,” challenges the idea that ease equals depth. Pastor Paul reminds us that deep spiritual friendships aren’t just convenient—they’re transformational. They’re built on faith that can be seen, love that doesn’t give up, and prayer that acts as a shield in life’s toughest moments. When Jesus is at the center, friendships do more than support—they heal, reconcile, and restore. Because Jesus doesn’t just make us nice—He makes us one. 💡 Big Idea The quality of your life is not measured by how easy things are—but by how deep your relationships go. True friendship in Christ intercedes, shows up, and carries you through when you can’t move on your own. 📌 Key Scriptures • Proverbs 17:17 (NLT) — “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” • Matthew 9:2–8 (NLT) — “Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, ‘Be encouraged… your sins are forgiven.’” • Ephesians 2:14–18 (NLT) — “He united Jews and Gentiles into one people… Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit…” ⚡ 3 Components of Deep Friendship 1.
